MANAGING DIRECTOR
Anthony co-founded Clermont in 2009 – at a time when privacy, data protection and cybersecurity were relatively niche sectors.
With 20+ years’ experience in legal search & recruitment and a career that began when lawyers were only just beginning to specialise in technology, Anthony has continued to evolve with the incredible legal talent he represents and has now added expertise in blockchain/web3, crypto & digital assets to his specialism in privacy, data protection and cybersecurity.
Clermont was born as a response to law firms and businesses struggling to identify and attract quality candidates across these niche areas, and it is a need that has grown exponentially since Anthony co-founded Clermont.
Anthony is a respected figure among the executive search and legal industry and is a regular attendee and contributor at major global industry events. He also hosts a podcast called Pad-cast that enables thought-leaders in privacy & data to tell their stories and provides valuable insight into latest industry developments.
Outside of his recruitment work, Anthony is an avid football fan – a lifelong supporter of Liverpool FC – and a running enthusiast who has completed several marathons.
A huge music fan, he is a regular attender of music events, gigs and has been to Glastonbury Festival more than once!
He is also proud father to a son & daughter
