Jamie Edwards: VP Talent & Org Development
Jamie had a unique road to HR. He spent over a decade as a co-founder, building, scaling, and exiting a B2B SaaS business, before making a deliberate move into the People space. What followed was six years leading Talent and Org Design at Deliveroo, taking the company from 1,000 to 4,500 people across Series D, IPO, and international expansion.
Caitriona Staunton: VP People
Caitriona has led People functions through some of the most demanding growth trajectories in the industry – from Google, spanning Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, and Japan, to Atlassian from Series A to IPO (450 to 2,000+ people), to Improbable from Series A to Series C (100 to 1,000+).
She knows what high-trust leadership looks like in practice and she’s not afraid to talk about the messy bits.
Matt Doucette: Director Talent Acquisition
With 14+ years leading global TA functions at Monster, Meta, Amazon, Deliveroo, and Nebius, Matt has spent his career turning talent acquisition into a genuine business driver. A former US Marine and serial builder, he brings operational precision and strategic vision in equal measure. He designs the infrastructure, data systems, and hiring frameworks that let companies move fast without losing what makes great hiring human.
Lucy Szypula: Head of Talent
Lucy operates at the intersection of high-growth chaos and thoughtful people strategy, and she makes it look effortless. At Hyperexponential, she’s built a talent function that punches well above its weight. She’s known in the community for her directness, her warmth, and her ability to cut through noise and get to what actually matters in hiring.
Alan Cairns: CPO
Alan brings the product mindset to People. As CPO at OakNorth, he sits at the rare crossroads of product thinking and people leadership, giving him a perspective on talent and organisational design that most HR leaders simply don’t have access to. Commercially sharp, deeply curious, and genuinely invested in the future of the function, Alan is the kind of board member who asks the questions nobody else thought to ask.
