Building the Caribbean, and the teams that lead it.
Construction, development and senior leadership talent for the Caribbean's most ambitious projects, and for the consultancies that deliver them, placed by a specialist who knows the region's builders, developers and boardrooms.

James Griffin
James runs connected desks across the Caribbean: construction and development talent for major projects, senior and board-level search, and roles with the consultancies that deliver them. He partners with Emma Westwood on the construction and property desk. He works alongside the developers and contractors who deliver them.
“On a Caribbean project, the right people are everything, from the QS on site to the director in the boardroom. I place both.”
