With Ken’s support, we added key talent in the right areas, driving continued growth and ultimately leading to our acquisition by US-listed Amwell (NYSE: AMWL).

When we asked Ken to lead recruiting at SilverCloud, we faced a significant talent acquisition challenge. A year after our Series B fundraise, COVID and the resulting lockdowns had slowed our hiring ambitions.

Ken embraced this challenge by working closely with each function to understand their needs and identify talent gaps. His support was invaluable, particularly as Irish teams worked to grow US-based functions remotely during travel restrictions.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ken to any organisation looking to reimagine their Talent Strategy.

Ken is that rare breed of Talent leader, who passionately brings together strategic insight, commercial acumen, and essential experience markers throughout the talent lifecycle.

His ability to holistically bring together the demands of the business, against a backdrop of market maturity, saturation, scale, marketing, brand, sourcing, data, and technology, has been a key differentiator in the overall success of the international business he supported—and indeed to myself as his leader.

I would highly recommend Ken as a Strategic Talent Advisor. He acted as my Strategic Talent Acquisition Partner in my role as Director of Corporate Development at Paddy Power.

Ken’s ability to understand both the strategy and the technicalities of the roles was truly impressive, as was his ability to identify the characteristics required for a successful candidate.

He consistently demonstrated expertise in articulating and promoting the employee proposition, ensuring we attracted top talent. His drive and dedication to success made a significant impact and helped us achieve our recruitment goals effectively.

I needed to build a product management team from scratch in a new territory, with healthcare experience, market knowledge, and cultural fit as key requirements. One role was senior with a global remit.

Ken collaborated closely with me to develop processes for different hiring levels, quickly screening and moving candidates through interview stages. Drawing on his expertise in product management and healthcare technology, he thought outside the box to meet team needs.

Ken ensured an excellent candidate experience, working flexibly with budgets and timeframes. He encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone, leading to diverse, impactful hires.
