Mason Alexander is delighted to announce 4 new promotions across our Technology and Professional Services Divisions.

“The first half of this year has been the best it’s been for us as a company. We have opened up in Bucharest, NYC and San Francisco; we have hired 19 new people so far; launched our software development outsourcing business and achieved the ambitious targets we set out at the start of this year. We are working better as a team than we have ever done, which is down to the great work and collaboration of everyone at MA. There are some people who really pushed themselves to the next step in their career and we are pleased to recognise their performance with a promotion.”

– Andrew Lynch, CEO

Ian Donnelly – Senior Principal Consultant

“Ian is our head of cybersecurity consultant. He has over 16 years of recruitment experience and is responsible for leading our security team. Ian is an exceptional recruiter with a real passion for cybersecurity and a passion for delivering excellent service. He has an excellent network within his area and is well known within the Irish market. Ian has delivered for our top clients time and time again and some of these roles are extremely niche in the market.  He delivers a tailored search each time and clients are regularly providing feedback on how impressed they are when he finds the right candidate first time around. Likewise, his candidate network is exceptional, and candidates rely on him for market information and advice, he cares about the candidates he works with, and he ensures that the roles he brings to them are the right roles for their next step and what's important to them.” 

– Sophie Kelly, Associate Director, Technology 

Christine Morrison – Principal Consultant

“Christine is our expert within Project Delivery. She covers PM, BA, Scrum, and Product Owner roles. Christine comes from a delivery background after working as a Delivery Analyst herself, so she has a solid understanding of this market and knows the exact breakdown of different roles, skill sets, and market trends. She is a true expert because she has done it herself, so she delivers time and time again for our clients. She has an extensive candidate network, and she takes time to speak or meet with every candidate she represents in the market in order to understand what's important to them. What makes Christine different? Feedback! Once a candidate applies to a role and interviews with a client Christine will always strive to deliver feedback that can help the candidate through the process or through other interviews - this is something that is so important within the market and one thing that Christine lives by!” 

– Sophie Kelly, Associate Director, Technology 

Josh Craig – Principal Consultant

“Josh has been a great addition to MA. From day 1 he has worked so hard to build up his desk. He was starting from scratch, not just a new industry but new jurisdiction and has consistently delivered on fees and built up great relationships with candidates and clients. He’s always willing to put his hand up and get involved, so important when we operate digital first. He has really stepped up as a leader in working alongside Dylan and you can see the success of that already.”

– Michael Minogue, Associate Director, Professional Services

James Bowles – Chief Commercial Officer

“Everyone at MA is really pleased that James Bowles has become our first Chief Commercial Officer. In the 4 years since James has joined us, he has built an exceptional track record for understanding our clients' challenges and providing the right solutions for them. He is one of the best customer-facing people I have worked with and has an innate ability to build relationships. James is also incredibly passionate about scaling, and as Mason Alexander is undertaking a rapid period of growth across Europe and the US, the timing couldn’t have been better for him to step into this role.

In his new position, James will implement our commercial strategies, oversee our sales function, and ensure our solutions are market fit including recruitment, talent acquisition outsourcing, and our software development teams. James will also play a pivotal role in the continuous build-out of our US business.”

– Andrew Lynch, CEO
