Jo is a senior research and talent specialist with over 20 years experience working with professional services and executive search firms to provide the best talent solutions. She worked with Accenture managing and delivering research on companies, market segments and key business trends and spent 5 years in Hong Kong establishing the operations of a global leadership advisory firm. The common thread in Jo’s career has been her innate curiosity, natural love of people, passion for solving problems, and a tenacity that doesn’t give up.

In her current role as Global Talent Sourcer at Xero she is continuously mapping the market and building the talent pipeline from the Board level right down to technical talent. Hiring amazing people is part of Xero’s magic but as Global Talent Sourcer Jo is focused on tapping into the passive talent marketplace. She proactively connects with people from across the globe at all stages in their career in an effort to unearth future leaders that align with our values, dream big and want to be part of a game-changing, world-class business.

Jo has had an amazing impact on the way we have approached talent acquisition in my business in Singapore. Her thought leadership around approach, strategy and execution has shifted the way we think about the talent market in Singapore. Jo is passionate about her role and the value and excitement she brings to her work is self-evident.
