The appointment will see Leanne develop the HR department, working across the business to help the organisation grow and meet business objectives.

Throughout her career, Leanne has gained many valuable experiences across all aspects of recruitment and HR, all which has taught her the importance of employee satisfaction and leadership. Leanne has already begun to garner SimpliSafe’s expansion and brought fresh thinking and innovative solutions to the talent management sector.
At SimpliSafe, Leanne will sit within the senior leadership team and take over the recruitment department , also ensuring the internal developmental needs of all employees are fulfilled. Her core focus will be assessing rewards and benefits for employees and putting in place learning and development strategies that allow employees to excel and grow within the business, working alongside the team in the US.
