Andrew Finlayson
Director – Tech & Digital
I joined Change in 2015 to grow the digital & tech team. I’ve been in tech recruitment space for over 20 years, spending four years in Australia and the rest based in Scotland’s tech hub in Edinburgh. Driven by technology changes and skill demands I’ve recruited into more than 20 countries worldwide.
It’s very exciting and motivating to know that the people we place make a real difference to tech innovators and engineering labs in Scotland. Leading our team of talented digital and tech recruiters I make sure we have a deep knowledge of all our markets and stay relevant to a rapidly evolving talent market.
I hold membership with the CIPD association and as a lifelong learner I have just completed certification in Cyber Response Management. I’m currently studying towards CIPD Level 7 in Resource and Talent Management.

Gary Simpson
Principal Consultant – Data Analytics
I joined Change in 2018 as a Principal Consultant in the digital and tech team, specialising in the BI/data/analytics space, working with clients ranging from tech start-ups to global blue-chip companies. I have a great network of Data professionals and like to keep abreast of the latest technologies. I’m committed to gaining certifications in this field so I can help my clients get that perfect candidate fit.
Outside of the office, I split my time between family, continuous study and mountain biking. My next course is focused on Artificial Intelligence for Business.

Keith Patterson
Principal Consultant – Digital
I joined Change in 2014 and have been a technology recruiter for over 13 years, working for two agencies during my time. I have consistently been in the top three performing consultants throughout my career.
I specialise in Software Engineering within the digital sector and have built up a fantastic network across a number of different industries. For me, what makes it worthwhile is knowing candidates’ value what we do as recruiters, and that placing them into new positions helps develop their careers.
Outside of work my passion is trail running, cycling, and competing in events. I have placed in the top 20 in various ultra-marathon’s and love nothing more than to be deep in the wilderness of the Scottish Highlands – either running or on my Gravel bike.

Mitesh Fatnani
Senior Consultant – Cyber Security
I joined Change in 2018 as a specialist SME consultant for Cyber & Information Security and Infrastructure roles across Scotland, placing professionals into contract and permanent roles within SME’s, Financial Services and IT Consultancies. I pride myself on providing the highest quality of service to both candidates and clients, by offering a consultative and deeply thorough approach to understanding their requirements.
For me it is very humbling and motivating to know that I have played a small part in changing people’s lives by getting them their ideal job.
Out of the office my passions are my family and cricket, plus, I’m poised to defend my title as Taranata Table Tennis Champion once we can all be together in the office.
