Emma Storey's Linkedin Analytics

Hi! I'm Emma 👋 I’m one half of the founding team at Hera. I have spent many years in the world of recruitment with a keen focus on Product and Engineering functions, carefully sourcing founding teams, through to building out talented and driven cross-functional departments for Leaders and Founders. I absolutely love working with businesses to get into the detail of what they do brilliantly, and what needs a bit of TLC! I then tailor my approach to suit the individual requirements, and aim to build long term partnerships. What's important to you is just as important to me! As a neurodivergent woman, and a working parent within a male dominated industry for the past 8 years, I have some lived experience of the struggles and challenges a lack of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion can have on individuals. I have also seen the detrimental impact this will in turn have on a business and its success. To compliment this, I have worked with Founders and Leaders of Tech startups, scaleups and enterprise businesses across the UK for nearly a decade now, to support them with their mission of building word-class, diverse and inclusive teams. For many years prior to my career in recruitment, I worked in Healthcare. I led stores and pharmacy teams, supporting local communities with their medication, ongoing healthcare, and overall wellbeing needs. I worked closely with Community Doctors, Hospitals and other Healthcare Professionals, which gave me a good understanding of the challenges within this space. Since 2013, after my wonderful Mum suffered a severe brain haemorrhage, I have also been exposed to the depths of the NHS, Social Care, and Residential Care work, which has been both gut wrenching and humbling in equal measures. I am extremely passionate about supporting businesses in the HealthTech space who are striving for change and want to help. Outside of my day job I'm a Mum, a Wife, a Cake Baker, a DIYer, a Teetotaller, and a Food, Fitness and Interiors lover! I grew up in Cornwall (near Bude if you know it!), and moved to the beautiful city of Bristol 10 years ago. What am I motivated by? 🤗 Taking care of others. I'm happiest when everyone around me has what they need! 🧠 Emma/Monica Geller. A tidy desk, tidy home, and a tidy workflow = a tidy mind! 🚀 Closing the gap when it comes to DE&I in Technology.
