Chris and I founded Techfueld in October 2022 with a clear objective:To become the go-to Vehicle Technology and E-Mobility recruitment partner for companies shaping the future of Automotive Mobility.

In our first three years, we’ve delivered on that ambition. We’ve partnered with global OEMs and leading Tier 1 suppliers, placing high-impact professionals across 17 countries worldwide. Every client we’ve worked with has partnered with us again following a successful first engagement, something we’re incredibly proud of, It speaks to the standard we operate at and the long-term relationships we prioritise.

My recruitment background sits firmly within the Electric Vehicle space. I’ve supported businesses across battery technology, e-powertrain and the wider EV ecosystem as the industry transitioned from early adoption into full-scale commercialisation. Working with innovators, Tier 1 suppliers and global OEMs across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia has given me a front-row seat to one of the most significant industrial shifts of our time and positioned me alongside the talent driving it.

As Techfueld has grown, so has our ambition.

Today, we partner with organisations across Automotive Mobility, Semiconductors and AI & Technology. My focus is building and leading our AI & Technology offering, supporting companies developing intelligent systems, advanced software and next-generation platforms.​

I work closely with founders, scaling businesses and established global players to build high-performing teams across engineering, commercial and executive functions. My approach is partnership-led, commercially sharp and long-term in mindset. Recruitment, to me, is not transactional. it is about alignment, trust and delivering outcomes that compound over time.

Outside of work, I’m a huge Arsenal fan. Whilst a quadruple would be nice, I’ll happily settle for a Premier League title, although a Champions League wouldn’t go amiss either. I’m a big foodie and always open to restaurant recommendations, which is exactly why staying consistent in the gym is non-negotiable. I’ve been playing padel for the best part of a year now and the love isn’t fading, it’s a top sport and I’d recommend anyone giving it a go. I love to travel, meet new people and experience different cultures, explaining why I would usually rather explore somewhere new than return somewhere familiar. I also take photos of almost everything. There is beauty everywhere if you look for it, and capturing it, even on an iPhone, is something I plan to invest more time in over the coming years.

At its core, recruitment is a people-first business. In a world increasingly shaped by AI and automation, I believe the human element remains irreplaceable. Those who thrive will be the ones who leverage AI to enhance efficiency while preserving judgement, relationships and emotional intelligence. Technology will evolve, but trust and human connection will always matter.

If you're building within Automotive Mobility, Semiconductors or AI & Technology, or you're a senior professional looking to make an impact in those markets, let’s connect.
