  • Jonathan Dancy

    Jonathan DancyJonathan is a Director of JCR Associates and responsible for advisory work and Board Appointments. He also specialises in talent management and recruitment within the financial services industry.

    He began his career in financial services working for an investment bank in London and has also worked in South Africa and the US. By the mid 1980's he had made the decision to plough his own furrow and left the city to start his own business. He built a management consultancy and training business, which was successfully sold in 1991. He then returned to work for Goldman Sachs International in London with a European remit.

    During this period he was responsible to the Partners of the Firm in Europe for different aspects of business and people support. These initiatives included building teams, developing and evaluating staff, solving complex business problems and working with teams to develop strategies to take their businesses forward. In many cases, this included designing and executing implementation strategies. He also experienced his first real taste of recruitment, but from the "buy" side.

    In 1995 he moved into Executive Search. Since that time he has built practices, teams and offices, as well as being a CEO and MD of two different Firms.

    Jonathan has recruited chairmen and chief executives, chief operating officers and non-executive directors, as well as having a broad experience of recruiting across most product and functional lines within Financial and Professional Services.

    Nowadays, he spends his time working for clients and recruiting specialist talent for them worldwide.
