Recruitment as a Strategy
Event Speakers
Lucy has a particular passion for SMEs and scale-up phases of businesses, and for solving knotty problems that don’t seem to have a solution. She is a PADI Master Instructor, giving up on her SCUBA dream when a ferry landed on her dive shop following Hurricane Ivan, the lesser-known little brother of Katrina.
