La Fosse

Executive recruitment for technology and leadership

Overview

La Fosse is a UK-based recruitment and executive search firm that places senior leaders and specialists across technology, digital, product and design, sales, marketing, information security, data, cloud, infrastructure, and IT architecture. It helps organizations—from startups to large enterprises—scale teams by offering tailored recruitment services, fromBoard-level roles to niche hires. The process combines a values-led, collaborative approach with long-term client partnerships and fee-based placements, delivering ongoing support rather than one-off hires. Its unique elements include a people-focused culture that emphasizes care and respect, a strong client-and-candidate experience (high NPS and Glassdoor ratings), and a broad network supported by 120 specialists across six UK offices. The company's goal is to enable clients to grow and transform by connecting them with the right leaders and experts, while maintaining sustainable profitability and a strong employer brand.

La Fosse expands senior leadership team.

La Fosse expands senior leadership team. Technology and transformation specialist La Fosse, headquartered in London, has appointed two senior leaders as it looks to accelerate its artificial intelligence ambitions and international growth. Barry Sacks has joined the board as group chief technology officer, while Terry Dawson has been appointed managing director, business systems, change and transformation, EMEA. Barry brings extensive technology leadership experience, most recently as a chief technology officer within high-growth B2B SaaS businesses. Having advised La Fosse on its technology and AI strategy over the past year, he will now lead its implementation across the group's four service offerings. Barry said: "I'm excited to be joining La Fosse on a permanent basis. "We have a distinctive view of the technology talent market, built up over two decades, and I'm looking forward to executing our strategy to unlock value that will be transformative for the business. "I'm looking forward to supporting our consultants and our clients to reach their own goals through the innovative use of technology and AI, as we embark on the next stage of La Fosse's evolution." Terry brings almost two decades of recruitment and transformation experience across technology, SAP, enterprise applications and large-scale business change. He previously held senior leadership roles at Investigo and The IN Group. In his new role, Terry will lead La Fosse's business systems, change and transformation and international teams, while driving its international growth plans. Terry added: "I've followed La Fosse's journey for many years and have always admired its reputation for professionalism, entrepreneurship and its focus on people. "The opportunity to join a business with such a strong culture, ambitious leadership team and clear growth strategy was something that immediately stood out. "Organisations are increasingly looking for strategic partners that can combine specialist talent, consulting expertise and delivery capability to solve complex business challenges. "La Fosse has a compelling proposition across these areas, and I'm looking forward to working with colleagues across the group to strengthen that offering and support the next phase of growth."
