Ikum Kandola

Ikum covers the commercial side of the firm and the consulting next to it. Clients come to him for senior commercial hires, and the conversation often turns to whether the pipeline problem is a headcount problem at all.

He works hands-on with AI and operations, so a brief is scoped against how the business runs rather than against an org chart. Where a client needs commercial coverage before they can justify a permanent hire, he can carry the work himself for a period and hand over a functioning team.

Clients tend to bring him in early, before the role is signed off.
