Neil Walton
I worked with Mo for just over a year, he was thoughtful, social and tenacious member of the team, with a real eye for staffing solutions. We were sorry to see him go, and wish him all the best.
Sean Quirke
Intelligent and passionate about the Life Sciences, Mo is a hard-working individual with volumes of charisma. Mo mentored me for a few weeks after joining Korn Ferry, teaching me the basics of Sourcing, Screening, and Market Mapping. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. The points he taught me I have took forward onto my career as Mo became a genuine friend since then. His support was never ending, and his passion for the Life Sciences is contagious, being well able to motivate you to garner your full potential. In short, he is brilliant at what he does!
