Jes Ladva

At Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea over the past year, we have had urgent need for top flight professionals to step into key positions and perform exceptionally well from the get go. I’ve been really impressed with Jes and Odgers’ attention to detail in securing some excellent people; but above that, it’s been his appreciation of our unique circumstances, and what that requires from public service professionals, that’s been at the centre of their value to us.
