Reflecting on the search process, John Michael Simmons commented:

“From our very first interaction through to follow-up after I joined the role, Kirsty went above and beyond to ensure true alignment between myself, the role, and Sun Tribe. She was transparent, extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely cared about both my success and the company’s. It was an absolute pleasure working with her, and I look forward to partnering with her in the future from an employer perspective as well.”
