She has owned and run her own businesses for over 17 years, and set up her current business Jaluch, (a human resources and training consultancy) in 2002 after selling her first business in 2001. She loves innovation and adventure and particularly dislikes the professional obsession and blind adherence to ’best practice’ that can run rampant in the HR industry. Jamieson prides herself on running businesses that deliver what they say they will deliver on time and within budget.
