Victoria joined HC Group in 2019 and works within the EMEA Liquid Fuels practice.

In 2020, Victoria relocated to the UAE to lead and develop HC Group’s activities in the Middle East. She has been recruiting in the energy space for several years across upstream, midstream, and downstream.

Since joining the EMEA Liquid Fuels practice, I have had the opportunity to partner with global organisations and lead large scale, strategic recruitment projects. My proudest moment at HC Group is being given the opportunity to spearhead the opening of our Abu Dhabi office. The Middle East is fast becoming the next commodity trading hub and we are excited to establish a permanent presence there.
