The recruitment and transformation group has appointed a group CTO and an EMEA managing director as it develops its AI strategy and specialist services.

La Fosse has strengthened its leadership team with two appointments aimed at developing its use of AI and expanding its international business.

Barry Sacks joins as group chief technology officer, while Terry Dawson becomes managing director, Business Systems, Change & Transformation, EMEA.

Moving technology strategy into delivery

Sacks has held CTO roles in high-growth B2B software businesses, including private equity-backed companies. He has worked with La Fosse as a client and contractor and advised the group on its technology and AI plans over the past year.

He will now implement that strategy across the group’s four service offerings.

I’m looking forward to supporting our consultants and our clients to reach their own goals through the innovative use of technology and AI, as we embark on the next stage of La Fosse’s evolution.

Building specialist and international teams

Dawson brings experience across technology recruitment, SAP, enterprise applications and large-scale change. He began his recruitment career in 2007 and joined Investigo in 2014 to establish its SAP Transformation practice, subsequently holding senior roles across Investigo and The IN Group.

At La Fosse, he will lead Business Systems, Change & Transformation and international teams, developing specialist capabilities and supporting overseas growth.

Chief executive Ollie Whiting said the appointments would help the business execute its technology strategy and build on its growth plans. For recruitment leaders, the appointments underline the importance of connecting internal technology investment with specialist talent and consulting services.
