“We worked with Jodi on the appointment of a significant post at Queen's Theatre Hornchurch and to help source a number of board members. She enabled Queens to attract a significantly higher quality of candidate in a time of great change for the theatre. Jodi's expert management of the process, strategic advice and guidance to me as Chair were invaluable in ensuring we appointed successfully to a newly created joint CEO and Executive Director role. I was also delighted at the prospecting she achieved for board members. Jodi's approach is thoughtful, considered and extremely organised”.

She was proactive in approaching a significant number of potential candidates for the post, ensuring that there were strong applications from a range of people offering contrasting skills and experience.
