Bringing a deep understanding of global market dynamics and a commitment to service excellence, Samantha will manage a team of research professionals in the delivery and execution of international client mandates. She has significant experience managing General Counsel and CxO positions such as Chief Legal Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, and various “Head of” type positions.
“We feel incredibly fortunate to have Samantha join our team,” said Managing Partner Julian Adamson. “Her knowledge of the legal sector coupled with her deep recruitment and advisory experience will be invaluable as we continue to enhance the services we provide our clients. She is a respected people leader and blends her significant industry expertise with curiosity, empathy, and candour.”
To this end and as a certified Personal Career Development Coach, Knowles will also look to enhance the firm’s career development offering to candidates and clients. This critical component to executive search will ensure that candidates receive tailored guidance in their career paths while helping clients build and maintain high-performing teams.
