Recruiting people into new careersis something I have always taken a great deal of personal
satisfaction from. That, and building businesses is what I love doing. So late in 2011, I decided to
establish my own company, using my experience in the science and technology industry, to help
companies with great opportunities, find great people. Todaymy company,Insight Management
Services, improves business performance for Clients by finding exceptional new talent and supporting
their marketing objectives.
We specialise in a very focussedniche that perfectly
matches our expertise. So when you work with us you
can be sure we understand your business and your
technologies. We work with scientific and technical
instrumentation companies, managingrecruitment
assignments from the MD/CEO down through the
organisation but,only in Sales, Customer Support and
Marketing. This is where ourexperience can be most
useful to you because we have been in your shoes and
have most likely experienced the challenges you
currently face.
I have personally been involved in the scientific and
technical instrumentation field for over 27 years since I
started my PhD in AtomicSpectroscopy. The notion of
using a range of highly complex instrumentation to
characterise materials, struck a chord with me and it’s
been a passion of mine ever since.
I started my career working in the pharmaceutical industry at The Wellcome Foundation where I
gained experience with many analytical techniques and myriad laboratory technologiesin a highly
regulated environment. Wellcome was a great company, but there was something missing. I wanted to
take my science background into a commercial role, so I identified a Technical Sales position with
Philips Analytical (part of the Dutch electronics firm) and I never looked back.
Philips is renowned for its Sales and Management training. They provided me with an excellent
groundinginthe commercial world of laboratory instrumentation, not only in the UK but in many
markets globally. I was quickly successful and after only 2 years became GlobalSales Manager for an
entire portfolio of products, building budgets for a$20m business, contributing to overall business
strategy and delivering growth. I was also very lucky to work in many parts of the world including
North Americawhere I was responsible for developinga new brand into that market.
Throughout my career, my focus has remained with laboratory and technical instrumentation in global
B2B markets. I have worked at SeniorManagementlevel and gained wide ranging experience in areas
such as spectroscopy, chromatography, metrology, micro and nano-positioning, optics, photonics,
microscopy and imaging, with both manufacturing companies and distributors.
I have repositioned companies and business units, created and launched company and product brands,
established sales and marketing functions from the ground up, built distribution networks in global
markets, established subsidiaries in Europeand Asiaand implemented market penetration strategies in
North America.

2. During my career, I have had the opportunity to meet countless people from all around the world,
many of them becoming friends. But my greatest motivation was to develop and grow businesses and
to create jobs. I have learned that hiring someone into a new position, which is often a life changing
opportunity for them, isexciting, rewarding and a real privilege for me personally.
I hope this summary gives you some idea of the depth of experience and industry knowledge that we
can offer. If you feel we can help, please give me a call or send an email to the contact details below. I
look forward to hearing from you.
