The people behind every placement.

Oliver leads Newstone's senior Finance practice, partnering with CFOs, Finance Directors and Boards across PE-backed, listed and privately-held businesses.

Over a 15+ year search career he has placed leadership across the full finance function — from Group Controllers and Heads of FP&A to Chief Financial Officers shaping IPO and M&A activity.

Clients value his discretion, his judgement on cultural fit, and his refusal to put forward a shortlist that doesn't earn its place.

Paul leads our Change, Transformation and Technology practice — placing the Programme Directors, Heads of Data and senior IT leaders who deliver complex change at scale.

His network spans FTSE-listed transformation programmes, mid-market PE portfolios and global consultancies, with a particular focus on data-led modernisation and operating-model change.

Known for straight-talking advice and an obsessive interest in delivery — Paul will tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.
