Bio
Bronwin Sawers
Judith was my Manager while at Nova Human Capital Solutions. She is a phenomenal manager who has a way of bringing out the very best in her staff and through this, created a team that was strong and worked well as a unit. Judith's experience within the recruitment industry and her passion for people enables her to build teams that are not only successful - tackle research from a creative and effective way as well as filling positions that were hard to fill. She is a strong relationship builder and takes a lot of pride in everything that she does. She really is one in a million!
