From £25M Turnover to Rock Bottom: Chris O'Connell on Surviving PE & Finding Real Leadership

This week, Derry Holt talks to Chris O'Connell about his incredible journey building a £25M recruitment business, navigating a traumatic Private Equity (PE) exit, and finding strength in vulnerability. They dive deep into authentic leadership (why being 'real' works), the pitfalls of over-automating BD, and Chris's love-hate relationship with LinkedIn. A raw, honest conversation packed with lessons for anyone in recruitment.
