Siobhan McCay

Hi, I’m Siobhan! I specialise in recruiting top talent for strategy, corporate development, M&A, and transformation roles, with a strong focus on the energy, renewables, and financial services sectors.

I’ve been with Ascent for over seven years and have spent almost a decade working in consulting recruitment.

Over the years, I’ve built deep expertise in placing top-tier talent into boutique and mid-sized consultancies, as well as in-house strategy and corporate development teams—particularly in energy transition, private equity-backed businesses, and financial services. My expertise covers everything from corporate strategy and M&A to transformation and finance. If it’s complex, strategic, and high-impact, I’m all over it!

For me, recruitment is all about relationships. I take the time to understand what my clients and candidates really need so I can make introductions that make a difference. If you’re looking for your next move or need help finding top talent, let’s have a chat!

Outside of work, I live by the sea and enjoy beach walks with our dog Phoebe, who’s convinced she runs the house (and to be fair, she probably does). In the winter, I try to ski or snowboard as much as possible (yes, I love both!). Other than that, in my spare time, you'll often find me playing five-a-side football and catching live music whenever I get the chance.
