A fascinating blog by our Director Nathan Macfie discussing changes in hiring requirements in the Asset Management buyside leadership market. Firms want leaders who are meaningfully present in the office. This subject was also recently discussed by our CEO Andrew Welsh in the recent The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) Operations Unpacked podcast https://lnkd.in/eJCXBh9F #AssetManagement #Buyside #InvestmentManagement #WealthManagement #FinancialServices #FinServ https://lnkd.in/evteARbQ

In Memory of Ellen Mulvey. It is with the deepest sadness that we share the news of the passing of our colleague and friend, Ellen Mulvey. Ellen joined the Meraki Talent team in London as Managing Director earlier this year. She brought warmth, professionalism, and kindness to everyone she worked with here at Meraki. Ellen loved recruitment and was especially passionate about inclusion, sharing her knowledge about this important subject with all her colleagues. She introduced Mental Health First Aiders to our business, a true mark of such a kind, compassionate and calming person who always thought about the needs of others. We share a feeling of loss with Ellen’s friends and former colleagues at Bruin and extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and all who knew her. Andrew Welsh CEO Meraki Talent

A little late on this one, but what a night!! Yet another fabulous evening of awards and celebrations hosted by Scottish Financial Enterprise at EICC in Edinburgh last Thursday! An amazing night of appreciation and recognition for the thriving Scottish Financial Services Industry. I was delighted to be hosted by Vida Rudkin at the Scottish Financial Enterprise Young Professionals table, but also enjoyed seeing my own Meraki Talent colleagues there too! 🍾🚀💫 Huge kudos to the SFE team for another successful event! #financialservices #scottishfinancialservices #awards #edinburghevents
