Our Practice Leaders

Guy Stacey
Guy Stacey – Executive Search

Hello, I was one of the founding partners at IAC way back in 2010 so it’s been a privilege to watch the brand and its people grow and succeed since then. I have a genuine passion for internal and risk management recruitment and have specialised in this area for over 20 years now. I learned my trade whilst working for two of the largest recruitment brand in search before establishing IAC. I now lead our search practice and focus on Head of Risk, Audit and Controls positions for organisations in the industrial & commercial sectors.

My children are a little older now so outside of work I have time to enjoy golf and I’m a season ticket holder at Saracens.

Jane Dinwoodie
Jane Dinwoodie – Financial Services

My recruitment experience spans 20 years, I came into this industry as a graduate and never left! I have seen the Recruitment industry grow, develop and mature into the dynamic profession it is today. I have worked with IAC for 15 years and my specialism is Internal Audit hires in the Insurance, Re Insurance and the wider Financial Services markets. Most of my work is geographically focused in The City and Greater London.

Outside of work I am usually found doing something sporty that involves a competitive element or indulging my love of art and travel.

Ross Jenkins
Ross Jenkins – Internal Audit, Risk, and Controls

Before recruitment I trained as an Internal Auditor within the big four and am also qualified FCCA. I decided to career change 7 years ago and moved into recruitment specialising in Internal Audit and Internal Controls using my firsthand knowledge to assist businesses build best in class Internal Audit functions.

I am a huge advocate of networking and being a spokesperson for the Internal Audit profession. From this I have led on multiple thought leadership events and set up an Internal Audit mentoring scheme to help Internal Auditors leverage from the fantastic leaders from across the world of Internal Audit.

Outside of work I am dad to two little future CEO’s in Esme and Iris who along with my wife Michaela keep me firmly outnumbered in my house. I am also a keen sports fan with football, boxing, horse racing and golf (playing badly and watching) high on my list of passions. I love to travel whenever I get the opportunity and weirdly love TV Quiz shows such as House of Games and The Chase, although please don’t mention Tipping Point......

Andrew Jones – IT Audit, IT Risk, IT SOX and Controls

I’ve worked in recruitment for nearly 10 years. I recruit for technology assurance professionals which includes IT Audit, cybersecurity, infosec, data analytics, and more.

Growing up in Silicon Valley, I was always interested in the world of technology unfolding around me. It’s great to have an opportunity to play a part in that now. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about history and politics.

Marenke Celliers - Research Manager

After starting my career in sports and teaching across Asia, I transitioned into the recruitment industry and quickly discovered how rewarding it is to help people find roles that truly align with their goals. For three years, I thrived in this space - driven by a genuine passion for supporting others, not just filling positions.

Having made a major move myself, I understand both the excitement and challenges that come with change. That perspective helps me better relate to candidates and ensure they feel supported and confident throughout the recruitment process.

Over the past two years, I took time away from the workforce to raise my twin toddlers and assist with my husband’s business. It’s been a meaningful chapter, and now I’m excited to return to recruitment with fresh energy and perspective.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, catching up on a good series, and making memories with family and friends.
