Jo began her career as a scientist in R&D and worked in the chemicals sector in Australia until she chose to do what many Aussies do and go travelling. When she got to London after visiting quite a few destinations along the way, she embarked on joining a pharmaceutical firm.
But, her career journey took a detour when a different proposition was offered into the domain of recruitment through them. And so, her recruitment career journey began and so too did her journey to motherhood and the need for flexibility.
After working in agency, exec search, in-house and RPO, she decided that assisting people with their career was really what she enjoyed within this sphere. This is how Protoscience was born – Protoscience is global coaching practice with a particular emphasis on women in leadership and STEM.
Jo is also currently now a Head of P&C.

Somewhere along the way, we saw The Great Resignation and then the quiet quitters began their silent protest. So where to now? What’s on the cards for 2023?
