It’s so rare to find this combination in a hire.
Someone who’s had genuine success.
BUT still wants to get back in the trenches.
Think about it...
Most exceptional people have already done exceptional things.
Years of hard graft.
Worked themselves to the brink.
But came out the other side as a winner 🤝🏆
If you’ve done a significant shift at a seriously successful business, you’ve got options:
↳ A cushy leadership role where you already are.
↳ A leadership role at a VC-backed company.
↳ Become a consultant and work for yourself.
Or you could do something crazy…
Join a bootstrapped business.
Get back in the trenches.
And do it all again.
You don’t do it because you need to prove anything.
You do it for the love of the game.
There aren’t many people like that.
Which is why I’m over the moon about this hire.
After 6+ years at Gymshark - one of the UK’s biggest consumer brands of the last decade...
Ad Davies joins Simmer as our Head of People 🤝
Back in the trenches, and already deep into developing our team and culture.
