There she conducted in-depth research and designed psychometric instruments to identify innovation potential in individuals. Leonard is also a Chartered Occupational Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and is an accredited trainer and faculty member of the Association for Psychological Type International.

“Orla's impressive track as a leader of clients, teams and products, and her commitment to our growth and values made her the clear choice for this role,” said RHR CEO Jessica Bigazzi Foster. “She brings a mindset of progress and possibility to everything she does.
