DMG Media Leaders
A little about Steve
I’m a recruitment leader with a wealth of experience spanning over two decades and currently the Head of Recruitment at dmg::media, a role I have held since May 2016. In this position I oversees the recruitment for a diverse range of roles across editorial, technology, commercial, finance, design, and digital. Prior to working in Recruitment, I spent 6 years in Investment Banking on a trading floor and my claim to fame is I worked with Prince William at HSBC Private Bank when he did work experience with us.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, my two children keep us very busy and it sometimes feel like I’m their personal Uber driver. I’m a fan of going to the cinema, cricket (member of Surrey County Cricket), rugby, football, and golf.
A little about Hannah
HR Generalist
I started my first job at dmg media 11 years ago on the sports desk, followed by a number of Executive Assistant roles across Metro, MMM commercial, and the CEO office. This broad exposure allowed me to learn from talented colleagues and gain a deep understanding of our business. I moved into HR after having my daughter Florence in 2020. People are at the heart of everything we do at dmg media. My focus is on supporting a workplace where active listening, engagement, and support are paramount. By equipping colleagues with the tools and sense of purpose they need, while ensuring they can bring their whole selves to work, we can help them thrive. I am particularly interested in People Analytics, DEI, and Organisational Development as tools for driving meaningful change. Outside of work I enjoy learning to play tennis and hanging out with my daughter and partner.
