RAW Capital Partners has appointed organisational psychologist Kate Gibson to be its new Head of People leading hiring, employee development, and building up internal culture.
She has an MSc in Organizational Psychology and a PhD in Immunobiology, previously spending eight years in London at global investment manager Orbis, where she designed and led change initiatives across all investment and operational functions in ten jurisdictions.
In 2016, Ms Gibson left Orbis to become a consultant at Potential Plus UK, setting up the London centre and undertaking psychological assessments of children with high learning potential. She then served as a visiting scholar within the City University of London’s Department of Psychology, co-authoring a research paper on gender differences in children.
She relocated to Guernsey in 2018, where she worked as an assistant clinical psychologist for the States of Guernsey before joining CBO, but now she will oversee the 40 RAW staff members working across the island, Southampton and London.
Ms Gibson said: “I believe that organisations outperform through the collective efforts of intentional decision-making and setting their people up for success; this new Head of People role provides the perfect opportunity to shape the environment to achieve that. I’m looking forward to helping the business mature to better meet the needs of our team, our clients and our investors”.
Ben Nichols, Interim Managing Director of RAW Capital Partners, added: “Her unique experience across a variety of sectors, in combination with her deep understanding of organisational change and people management, makes her the perfect fit to become our Head of People. I look forward to seeing how the business and its culture evolves under her leadership”.
