“Thank you so much for your help in these years Kellie. You have been a valuable partner in helping us build out our Customer Journey team. Initially we were in urgent need of expertise in CRM, Social Strategy and Customer Service. You and your team acted quickly to introduce 3x best-in-class interim consultants, to plug the immediate gaps. All three interim contracts have been extended and each individual has added great value. Concurrently, SILK Search led and successfully fulfilled, 2x permanent Director-level searches within this strategically important team, to drive organizational change. I really enjoyed working with you, with your “can do” attitude and always trying to make it happen for the best of your client.”

“I have worked with Kellie at SILK Search over the years as both a candidate and a client. As a client, our first experience working together was on a very challenging search to identify a regional head who needed to combine commercial expertise, local knowledge, strong brand values and the entrepreneurial approach needed when not in head office. Kellie was successful in this and the person is still employed. As a candidate of SILK Search, I always appreciated Kellie’s candid view on a role and company and her willingness to take the time to assess wider career ambitions. Kellie operates with strong emotional intelligence and knows how to leverage her knowledge of the market and expertise.”
