If you’ve tuned into my Treasury Career Corner podcast www.TreasuryCareerCorner.com – you’ll know I love talking to the world’s leading Treasurers about their career journeys, the challenges they’ve faced, and where they see the treasury profession heading. It’s about sharing insights to help you get ahead in your career.

You may have already seen me speak at events like the AFP National Treasury Conference, EuroFinance, or the Windy City Summit in Chicago or hosting a live Treasury Career Corner LIVE event, wherever I am, my goal is to help treasury professionals like you find a role where you can make a real difference, and help my clients build world-class treasury teams

Here’s how I can help you:

  • Looking for your next big treasury role? Let’s talk.
  • Building a standout treasury team? I’ll help you find the right fit.
  • Curious about salaries, career trends, or industry insights? Our Treasury Salary Survey and podcast are packed with data and advice to guide you.

Executive Consultant, Global Treasury

Hi, I’m Katie, and I lead our UK and European treasury recruitment efforts. I work closely with treasury professionals and hiring managers to support everything from first treasury hires through to senior leadership appointments.

With over 20 years’ experience in recruitment, I’ve seen the market from every angle, including agency recruitment, in-house talent teams, and strategic hiring projects.

That background means I understand both sides of the table. I know what treasury professionals are looking for in their next move, and I know what organisations really need when they’re building or strengthening their treasury teams. A big part of my role is helping people navigate decisions around hiring, career moves, and long-term planning, not just filling roles.

Whether it’s a confidential conversation, a complex hire, or simply sense-checking the market, my focus is always on getting it right for the long term.

If you’re hiring in the UK or Europe or considering your next treasury move, let’s connect!
