After 10 years as an operator for businesses including Whitbread, M&B and Travelodge, the move to recruitment was a natural one for me. I’ve always been fascinated by leadership, team dynamics and performance and absolutely love matching great leaders with great businesses.

I feel very lucky to have worked with some of the most awesome businesses across the leisure and hospitality sector. I believe that Team Troika is the best in our space, connected by a genuine values led approach, a collaborative, supportive culture and passion for what we do.

Jules

Account Director

Originally from NZ, I moved to London in 1997 with no real plans other than to travel & gobble up as many cultural & culinary experiences as possible! My UK career soon led me into a number of exciting positions spanning operations, events, business development.

These experiences have provided me with a huge appreciation of the wonderful, creative people that fuel this vibrant industry. Having known Troika for most of my career in the UK, I was excited to join the team in 2017 and have loved every minute I have spent recruiting for the industry I absolutely love – it is my most rewarding role yet!

Charlotte

Charlotte

Account Director

After toying with becoming an actress, I found my home in hospitality around 22 years ago. I worked as an operator with Tootsies in London. I fell into hospitality recruitment working across branded restaurants, before heading up 5 national recruitment offices.

After a 2 year stint in executive search, I went in-house leading recruitment and development functions within Giraffe, LEON and most recently Gail’s. I have known Troika for many years and have always loved the expertise and warmth of all the team, I also have a huge love of food/drink and people…so a perfect combination.

I can be reached on 07463 926196

Dan

Dan

Account Director

I’ve had a pretty colourful career pre-Troika – I’ve been a bell boy, a waiter, sold Faberge Eggs and electricity door-to-door, ran an Irish Pub in Uganda, a busy events department in Covent Garden, designed stands for a TV Festival, helped open a members club and ran a little events business of my own.

As a candidate, Troika were my go-to recruiters so there was no other place I wanted to be when I decided on my new career path. I’m delighted to be working with such an amazing team and am passionate about matching the brightest talent to their perfect role.

James

James

Account Director

I started my career as a KP and straight away I knew hospitality was the one. After 14 years in central London ops, recruitment is where I found my true passion – supporting and guiding the best businesses and candidates in our wonderful industry. I spent the last two years as a Consultant for a very well known restaurant group, building the teams in existing sites as well as their new openings. I specialise in both BOH and FOH recruitment for the premium and super premium sectors.  

Troika have always been the best. From the way they helped and guided me as a candidate, to how they delivered for me as a client in my Operations Director days. I am so proud to be a Troika.

We have worked with Troika for several key appointments recently. Matching candidates to the needs and culture of a business is a skill that Troika have refined and perfected. They spend time understanding the values and culture of our business ensuring they present perfect candidates. They have certainly provided some difficult decisions to make due to the calibre of candidates. All appointments made through Troika have gone on to develop into senior roles which is testament to their approach.

PB Jacobse, Chief Executive, Rhubarb Hospitality Collection

In a difficult time for hospitality it was a relief to find such energy and determination in our search for an executive role within our team. Dan worked tirelessly and did a great job of keeping us well updated on his progress whilst communicating clearly how long the process would take in a tricky market place. The fact he found someone who is the perfect fit for our business is testament to his expertise and I couldn’t recommend Troika more highly.
