College Pro’s Early Career programs currently consist of a global summer intern program and local graduate development programs for previous interns who join the firm after completing their studies. This includes the rollout of College Pro Launch.

Prior to moving to College Pro Hire, Iain led the EMEA HR Practice for Professional Search, where he and his team led assignments to source senior HR talent for clients in various sectors. He also worked closely with colleagues in the Consulting and Digital businesses to provide insights into clients’ key leadership and organizational challenges.

Before joining College Pro, Iain worked in search for several years, specializing in HR and the management consulting sector. He has extensive international experience, leading assignments across Europe, UAE, Asia, and the Former Soviet Union.

Iain has worked extensively with leading companies across various sectors, including consumer goods, manufacturing, banking, insurance, fintech, energy, transport, NGO, public sector, media, technology, and pharmaceuticals.

Iain holds a degree in history from UCL School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies.
