About Gordon

A Mathematics graduate from the University of Edinburgh, Gordon began his recruitment career in 2005 and has specialised in Technology & Change since 2015. During that time, he has developed an extensive network spanning technology and transformation professionals through to CIO, CTO and senior programme leadership level.

With particularly strong experience across Financial Services, Gordon has supported organisations through major periods of transformation, helping them access expertise across technology, data, digital, programme delivery and business change. His experience now extends across multiple sectors and an increasingly diverse range of established and emerging technologies.

Alongside permanent and interim recruitment, Gordon plays an important role in Meraki's growing Statement of Work offering through Meraki Praxis. This enables clients to move beyond traditional individual contractor hiring and access scalable, project-based solutions with clearly defined objectives, deliverables and outcomes.

Working closely with clients to understand the challenge rather than simply the vacancy, Gordon can help shape the appropriate resourcing model, from a key interim specialist or programme leader through to the mobilisation of a broader team to deliver a defined transformation initiative. Meraki's SOW model is designed around agreed scope, milestones and KPIs, supported by specialist project resources, compliance and delivery oversight. 

His combination of recruitment experience, technology market knowledge and understanding of transformation delivery allows Gordon to provide clients with a genuinely flexible approach to workforce challenges, spanning permanent hiring, interim expertise and outcome-led Statement of Work solutions.

Known for his straightforward, consultative approach and long-standing relationships across the market, Gordon remains closely connected to the technology and change community, providing clients with insight into skills availability, emerging disciplines and the evolving ways organisations are accessing specialist talent.

Client & candidate testimonials

I’ve worked with the team at Meraki now for around 12 years spanning a few different roles. From my perspective, it’s great to have an external provider that you can trust have a great coverage of the markets you work in. They also have a good understanding of us as a business and the culture here. So, I know that when candidates come through, not only will they be well aligned to the requirements of the role, they’ll also be well informed about what working with us looks like.
