Jacob Kenney

NSW State Director

Career and education background:

I am an experienced Technology Recruitment Leader, who has worked with stand out recruitment businesses in both the UK and Australia. I draw on over ten years experience in the industry, building teams and recruiting professionals and senior leaders across Data, Software Development, and Digital. Prior to this, I completed a Master’s Degree in Economics from The University of Edinburgh.​

What I’m passionate about:

I am an out-and-out family man with a love for red wine, coffee, and rugby (in equal parts), so it’s no surprise that I always have a dad joke or two up my sleeve! I am also passionate about emerging technology on business, and its impact on the world we live in.​​

What you can call me for:

As Technology Practice Lead you can call me for recruitment support across Software Development, Data & Analytics, Digital, Design, DevOps, Security, Product and CRM. I can support with senior and executive-level hires and can also make introductions to niche expert recruiters, based on your needs in each of the aforementioned areas and specialisms.​

Two facts about me:

I have played rugby at the English, Scottish and Welsh national stadiums (Twickenham, Murrayfield and the Principality Stadium)I have a fear of cotton wool…..seriously, cotton wool!
