Rachel founded Talent Atelier in 2016 to create a specialist search practice focused on Fashion, Beauty, Sports and Lifestyle - sectors where brand is the business and cultural fluency is as critical as commercial capability. With over twenty years of executive search experience, Rachel recognized that these industries require leaders who understand both their consumer and how to connect brand with culture. Today, she oversees senior leadership placements across Talent Atelier's portfolio of beauty and fashion clients. Her approach is informed by direct industry experience - having worked as a makeup artist at Sephora early in her career - which gives her an insider's understanding of what drives success in beauty and fashion retail.

Jo began her career in fashion, working as a stylist across editorial photography and music videos - shooting with the likes of David Bailey, Naomi Campbell, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Her instinct for pairing people with brands led her to Executive Search, where she's now built more than 15 years of experience placing prolific talent into global organisations. She joined Talent Atelier in 2016, just months after it was founded. As Managing Partner, Jo is responsible for our luxury fashion as well as media and agency clients.
