    Sinead Hall

    Sinead Hall, Head of People at Evolved Search (circa 3 years). Leading on all things people and culture to deliver “the” employer of choice environment within the UK. My role focuses on everything from making sure people take holidays all the way through to coaching and supporting them into their C-suite seat. Evolveds values and culture are the most important aspect when it comes to delivering on our strategy. Without fantastic people in the right roles we wouldn’t achieve the results for our clients that we do. I genuinely believe that if you do right by your people they will do right by your business and that’s why I make sure we put our people first.
