Meet Chris Gray

Chris has spent a decade building relationships in niche areas across data science & AI, financial markets technology and within the start-up & scale-up community. He has a highly analytical approach to recruitment with a genuine understanding of both the technical landscape and the people who shape it.

His background spans high-impact hiring for a range of leading financial services, public sector and technology firms requiring the identification of professionals in high-stakes environments. This means he understands what separates a capable candidate from someone who’ll genuinely move your organisation forward. He knows the market because he’s lived in it.

Chris specialises in placing senior data scientists, quantitative developers, and technical leaders in financial services and government. He’s built networks of specialists who trust his judgment, which matters when you’re trying to find people who aren’t actively looking but would consider the right opportunity.

What sets him apart is his refusal to settle for surface-level matches. He asks harder questions, challenges briefs when they need challenging, and walks away from placements that won’t work long-term. His clients value this directness—they know he’s thinking about their actual needs, not his next commission.

If you’re hiring for roles that demand both technical depth and strategic thinking, Chris is someone worth talking to. He’ll give you an honest assessment of your market, your requirements, and what’s actually achievable.
