She Leads | Belief Through Uncertainty
Kathryn Pride, Executive Director at Dartmouth Partners.
Kathryn shares her journey from starting out in recruitment in London to spending over a decade building specialist teams at Dartmouth, before making the bold move to the US to launch and scale the firm’s Charlotte office. She speaks candidly about relocating during a challenging market, rebuilding from scratch, and the resilience required to hold belief when progress feels slow.
This episode explores leadership through uncertainty, learning to be authentic as a leader, and why celebrating progress matters just as much as pushing forward. Kathryn also reflects on building community in a new country, setting boundaries to avoid burnout, and the importance of relationships in shaping long-term success in recruitment.
