Leadership and Executive Hiring

You simply can’t afford to make a bad leadership hire. Engagement, productivity, team morale – it’s an unstoppable downward spiral when the wrong person is in the wrong role. Not to mention the financial burn. 

Avoid costly hiring mistakes

Luckily, the Lab17 is here to help you avoid costly hiring mistakes, and to find you leaders who scale, innovate and drive progress. 

The Lab17 hired home lending challenger brand Athena’s new chief marketing officer Sarah Sproule in April 2023. “We are delighted that Sarah is bringing her magic to Athena as our new chief marketing officer. Since our launch in 2019, Athena has been on a journey of building a killer brand on a mission to help Aussies pay down their home loan faster. The brilliant Natalie Dinsdale built a wickedly talented marketing team that is obsessed with changing home loans for good. Sarah is ideally positioned to lead the next phase of Athena’s brand journey, with her deep category knowledge, challenger brand focus and entrepreneurial mindset. We couldn’t be more excited!” Nathan Walsh, CEO, Athena.
