Senior strategist joins exec-appointments.com

Gareth Lloyd has joined exec-appointments.com as Chief Operating Officer.

Gareth, who was head of strategy and technology at Adcorp in Australia, will be in charge of day-to-day operations, as well as developing exec-appointmentsí expansion into new markets and services.

He said: ìexec-appointments is just the sort of company and environment I was looking for, working with business owners who make things happen quickly. The business is already the best in its sector and has great momentum. I had used the service before I joined and was already an advocate for the exec-appointments site, so itís a great opportunity to now be part of the success story.

ìItís important with todayís candidate shortage that companies are willing to look globally for new members of staff and exec-appointments really does enable that. I applied for this job online from Sydney and we conducted the interviews online, through video conference and email.î

Gareth trained as a lawyer and a chartered accountant. Before joining Adcorp, he spent several years working for Deloitte advising companies on a range of issues, from market entry strategy through to new product development.

Betty Thayer, chief executive of exec-appointments.com, said: ìGareth brings a wealth of business strategy and technology experience, and will be a strong asset as we continue to grow and develop in the UK and overseas.î
