Featured Testimonial

When I brought my 28 year, City corporate finance career to a close I planned to create a second career as a portfolio NED, but recognised that my CV needed a lot of work. Having been introduced to Mike Clancy by a mutual friend, I engaged with him to re-position my CV for a NED career. Mike was most impressive and re-worked my CV fundamentally, focussing on my key skills and experience. Fast-forward two years and my portfolio is well established with 6 roles spanning quoted, PE-backed and family companies as well as social enterprise, a charity and the Church of England. I would recommend Mike’s services to anyone embarking on the NED phase of life.
