Wayne brings over 18 years of recruitment experience, specialising in qualified accounting and finance roles across the banking, insurance, and superannuation industries. More recently, his expertise has expanded into the commercial sector, where he partners with organisations to recruit senior finance leaders including chief financial officers, financial controllers, and finance managers. This breadth has given Wayne a sophisticated understanding of the finance function at every level, from technical specialists through to executive leadership, and a sharp eye for the capabilities and qualities that distinguish a genuinely high-performing finance leader.
Across his career, Wayne has worked with clients and candidates spanning multiple geographies, an experience that has refined his approach to relationship-building and given him a nuanced appreciation of how finance talent operates across different markets and organisational contexts.
He is known for the depth of his candidate networks, his consultative and considered approach, and his ability to match not only technical capability but cultural and strategic fit, an essential consideration in an interim leadership appointment where speed of integration is paramount.
Wayne began his career in hospitality, an industry that instilled an early and enduring commitment to service, responsiveness, and genuine human connection, qualities that continue to define his work in recruitment today. His success in the profession has been consistently recognised; at Randstad he was admitted to the prestigious Directors Club, an honour reserved for the firm’s highest-performing consultants and a reflection of the trust placed in him by clients and candidates alike.
Originally from Zimbabwe, Wayne has lived in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Australia, bringing a global perspective and cultural fluency to his work. Now based in Brisbane, he balances his professional life with an active outdoor lifestyle, enjoying mountain biking, road cycling, and squash, and values time spent with his family in the outdoors.
