Profile

Anika specialises in recruiting Strategy Executives for the financial services and commercial sectors across the Sydney and Melbourne markets.

Anika joined Morgan McKinley in 2010, with over nine years’ experience recruiting executive professionals up to Partner and VP level in the UK, Europe and Australia.  She is recognised in the market for her diligence and integrity and takes a consultative approach with her clients to ensure they receive the very best service.

Anika began her recruitment career in 2001 working for a boutique executive recruitment firm back in the UK where she successfully recruited candidates for leading management consulting firms across the UK and Europe.  She spent the following seven years focusing on roles across strategy, procurement, change and project management, and was instrumental in the success of critical client recruitment drives.  As the Team Leader for another UK based consultancy, she continued to establish and maintain key client relationships whilst managing a team of consultants.  In 2005, she set up and ran her own consultancy before relocating to Australia in 2008 to join a Sydney-based international recruitment firm as Business Manager.

“Anika’s style is to listen to the customer’s requirements, rather than push through inappropriate candidates.She is tenacious in pursuing prospective candidates to move, without using the hard sell”.

Anika is blessed with dual nationality and in her spare time she enjoys keeping fit, eating out and is a keen traveller.
