Our Team

Dave has a passion for people and has spent many years supporting organisations in finding and developing the talent they need to realise their ambition. 

His exceptional success is built on a belief that cultural fit is as important as technical skills and experiences, and this focus on aligning the human side of an employer and an employee relationship brings a real difference to the approach changemaker takes to talent recruitment and development. Dave’s passion for helping people achieve their goals also extends to individuals and he can regularly be found working as an executive coach and providing individual career advice. Dave is an original founder of changemaker, having previously built a successful recruitment organisation following a corporate career as a leader of IT delivery and operations organisation. 

A great lover of the outdoors, Dave enjoys gardening and is a typical spirit of “Tom” in The Good Life, humming his little tunes, growing vegetables, keeping chickens, and doing his garden design. He is also keen on keeping fit and playing golf, where his enthusiasm is far greater than his ability! He loves travel when time permits and he also commits himself to supporting a combination of charitable organisations such as Foodshare, Careers Springboard and building projects in 3rd world countries.

While travelling for work can be something of a necessity for Justin, he also enjoys travelling for pleasure and exploring all the diverse landscapes, seascapes, cultures, and cuisines that the world has to offer.

Jason has extensive experience as a hands-on, global CIO operating in fast moving, customer focussed environments.  

Jason has a long association with the Automotive industry and is interested in how the traditional industry is transforming into an emerging mobility sector, addressing the shift to sustainable transport with digitally enabled customer services at its core. His extensive network, experience, energy, and passion for identifying new customer engagement models in this sector drives his work with multiple clients from digital start-ups to traditional OEM’s. Jason leads our Automotive practice having previously been responsible for establishing the global digital eco-system for Polestar as their Chief Digital Information Officer.  

Despite trying hard to squash his competitiveness, Jason still enjoys playing any sport his body allows, and he loves nothing more than trying to beat Dave’s best lap time or winning a round of golf. His spare time mainly consists of spending time with family, a little bit of walking, and spending as much time as possible finding, building and restoring old Lego Technic kits – he finds it a stress release! Alongside this, Jason also gives back to a local charity - Careers Spring Board - helping those looking to find new roles and change direction in their careers.

His experience at the sharp end of change delivery has given him a pragmatic and adaptable approach to making delivery and governance work hand in hand, where so often they can conflict. His focus on “right sizing” an organisations Delivery Governance needs, enables a more mature change delivery approach that captures the bigger picture rather than delivery silos, and enables organisations to become more effective at turning strategy into tangible business outcomes.
