I'm drawn to how executive search can improve diversity within organisations, and in how we inspire people from different backgrounds to put themselves forward for leadership positions.”

Samuel Pugh Researcher

Samuel joined Saxton Bampfylde as a Researcher in 2026, based in the London office. He read Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at Keble College, Oxford, where he served as JCR President, an experience that gave him a close understanding of governance and what makes someone the right leader for an organisation.

Samuel is drawn to the analytical side of research, working through each brief to identify the qualities a role genuinely requires, then thinking laterally about where those qualities might be found.
