AI Transformation &

Executive Leadership Talent

Can Seem Like Mission Impossible

Hi, I'm Katy Dearn

Head of Search

The AI Transformation Leadership Crisis: Why Waiting Costs You More Than Just Time

Technology organisations are facing a perfect storm of challenges. AI transformation teams are stretched thin, critical leadership roles remain unfilled for months, and the pressure to deliver measurable AI outcomes grows every day, whilst competitors launch AI-powered offerings.

I don't just present candidates. I work closely with my clients throughout the entire hiring process. After each interview round, I share clear, honest feedback to help you refine what you're looking for so each candidate is an even closer match than the last.

I also stay on top of AI talent trends and market shifts that affect transformation leadership hiring, giving you the insight you need to stay ahead and build teams that deliver genuine business outcomes, not just technical implementations.

Katy has been outstanding from start to finish. Professional and attentive - one of the VERY BEST in the industry! Katy, I can't thank you enough for all of your assistance. You are an asset to PropRec Recruitment!

Jonathan Pelosi

I dealt with Katy who was very professional in every interaction. She briefed me on the post and the employer, gave me advise re preparation and arranged the interview quickly and efficiently. Katy then followed up with an excelent debrief and subsequently the formal offer. Katy found the perfect post for me and I am extremely grateful. I would recommend both her and PropRec to both candidates and employers absolutely and without any reservations. Thank you

Matthew Bates

I received a call from Katy, with regards a job that even I probably wouldn't have thought was something within my skill set. But after a quick char realised that I could be. Its so refreshing and inspiring, to hear from a recruiter that didn't pigeon hole a candidate based on their previous experience, bit had taken the time to look into their skills and have a real understanding about the industry that people are from and the knowledge to be able to see how skill sets can be transferable. A credit to the company and a real asset to the companies she is recruiting for. Keep it up. MB
