Really enjoyed working with Curtis. He was pivotal in helping me secure a role in London, working with me to understand the role I was looking for and providing valuable insight into the London market. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to secure an M&A role in London.

Curtis was instrumental in helping me secure a M&A role in London. On arriving from New Zealand, he quickly brought me up to speed on the London market and took the time to clearly understand the type of role I was looking for. He takes a proactive approach, ultimately bringing forward very relevant opportunities. His guidance through the recruitment process was excellent – I would highly recommend reaching out if you are exploring opportunities in M&A.
