Samantha Maxwell-Reed
Non-Executive Director
Samantha Maxwell-Reed joins Harvey John as a Non-Executive Director (NED) at a defining moment in our 20-year history. Bringing over 25 years of specialized expertise in scaling world-class executive search and specialist recruitment firms across the UK, Europe, and the USA, Sam’s journey is rooted in true industry depth—from her early days as a 360 recruiter to building and successfully exiting her own firm, ‘expand’, via a Management Buy-Out (MBO).
Now a renowned mentor, strategic advisor, and key figure within The Recruitment Network (TRN), Sam acts as a trusted sounding board to industry leadership. Her appointment reinforces Harvey John’s commitment to being a "consultant’s consultancy," bridging the gap between sophisticated human capital strategy and tangible business growth.
At Harvey John, Sam provides the commercial oversight and governance necessary for our next phase of expansion. She advises our leadership on the operational architecture—the systems, MI reporting, and scalability frameworks—that ensure we maintain our "best-in-class" service standards for a global client base.
With an encyclopedic knowledge of the Digital and Technology sectors and a deep focus on building sustainable recruitment models, Sam’s involvement brings an additional layer of technical depth to our team. Her perspective is invaluable as we continue to invest in our people, refine our market proposition, and support clients through increasingly complex talent acquisition landscapes.
