Testimonial

"I started working with John several years ago, retaining his executive search services for some of our key senior hires for Patagonia Europe; which he delivered on with great success. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with him.

He is a true professional; knowledgeable and highly ethical. His knowledge of our industry, approach to the market and focus on customer service is faultless. John is committed to finding you the right person, he is also a great sounding board on all things HR.

What I like about working with John is his flexibility, practical approach to conducting a search and his engaging style in dealing with all levels of stakeholders. I would highly recommend John and his team at Fusion.”

Associate Partner

John began his journey in the recruitment field in 1995, stepping into the role of Director of Talent Acquisition at a global search firm. There, he played a pivotal role in supporting the staffing of high-ranking leadership positions for well-known and independent enterprises, including Adidas, Marks & Spencer, Levi Strauss, and Nike, across Europe, the USA, and Asia.

Following a six-year period of self-employment within the same industry, John became part of the Fusion team at the outset of 2011. Notably, John's professional pursuits in recruiting for the outdoor and sportswear sector reflect his personal passions.

Testimonial

“I've worked with John while at PON Bike, and he has been a terrific partner to me, and to our business leaders. He's taken the time to really understand our business needs, and our corporate culture so that he could recommend only top talent, and people who would understand and be able to thrive in our culture.

John came to a week long sales meeting in Austria, and spent full days and evenings everyday talking to our employees to get an understanding of them, as well as getting some great feedback to share with me about their views on talent development and other HR related issues.

John is a great partner and has brought us many great commercial leaders.”
