My career began with the UK Ministry of Defence where I spent ten years, including a stint in The Rt. Hon. Alan Clarke MP’s Private Office, before joining the prestigious Civil Service Fast stream (which has a 2% pass rate) as the first internal appointee in a decade and despite not being a graduate.

Together with Mark Jukes I co-founded Elbrus Partners in January 2013. Prior to this I was Head of Equities at Mizuho Securities in Europe from 2006 as MD and Member of the Executive, Risk and IT Steering Committees and also ran the Fixed Income Sales and Trading business for a period as Mizuho re-focused their business on customer rather than proprietary activities.

A former Army Officer and Founder of the leadership consulting firm Black Isle Group in London, I have worked in leadership development and people management for over 35 years, with a broad range of banking and financial services clients. My passion has always been about helping people achieve success and fulfilment at work.

Stewart’s Investment Banking career began in the mid 1980’s and spanned over three decades; holding senior roles, notably in Equity trading and execution and additionally having international tenures, running global teams.

Emma’s expertise in global risk management spans over 25 years. She is currently the Global Leader of the CRO Networking Group (Professional Risk Managers International Association, www.prmia.org) and a Steering Committee Member.

I grew up in Rochester where I went to Grammar School and was later part of a family business.
My first “proper” job was as a cashier at NatWest Bank. I then worked in pharmaceutical sales for three years, which I loved. This was the start of my sales career and I worked in a range of industries before selling everything I owned to go backpacking around the world with my best friend.

I joined Elbrus in October 2019, bringing with me 12 years’ experience as an authentic Office & Professional Recruiter in London and Kent.
Why me? I add value and deliver stress free recruitment services to my clients, some of whom I have been supporting for over 10 years.

Ellie grew up traveling the world in Japan and Australia and is managing our temporary recruitment service. Ellie has a background in customer service, client facing roles and is looking forward to growing the temp desk.

I joined Elbrus Partners Office Management in 2017 after a change in career paths from the fashion industry to recruitment.
