Livingston James Expands with Two New Hires

We are delighted to share that, on the back of record trading, Livingston James is expanding our team with two strategic hires.

Dan MacNeill brings a wealth of global experience working with leading technology businesses throughout the UK, Europe, the USA, and APAC. Most recently, Dan was part of the Deep Tech practice at a London-based global executive search firm. In this role, he partnered with VC and PE-backed start-ups and scale-ups, as well as established global technology companies, to deliver executive and board-level appointments across the UK, Europe, Asia, and North America. Dan will use this expertise to focus on areas including Semiconductors, Photonics, Space, Quantum, Robotics, Nanomaterials, Clean Tech and Manufacturing in Scotland and further afield for Livingston James.

Lauren Crichton, who joins us as a Research Consultant, strengthens our market-mapping, research and candidate attraction offering. Lauren’s academic background from the University of St Andrews and her M.Sc. from the University of Glasgow, combined with her sharp analytical skills and research acumen, underscore our commitment to quality in the search process.

Alistair Shaw, Director at Livingston James, commented, “We are extremely pleased to have been able to attract such high-calibre individuals to the Livingston James team. Their talent, drive, and insight will play a central role in continuing our momentum, supporting both clients and candidates with excellence at every turn.”

Please join us in warmly welcoming Dan and Lauren to Livingston James.
