When I first engaged Arielle Executive I wasn't sure where I wanted to take my career. From my first contact with MD, Irene McConnell, I was filled with confidence in their approach. Irene discussed their range of services and the process for each stage and patiently answered my long list of questions. I opted for the Business Package, which included brand discovery coaching, full resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter and elevator pitch. Though initially I wasn't sure where I wanted to land career-wise, I found the pre-coaching career mediation very useful to reflect on my achievements, skills, and likes and dislikes about previous roles. My Branding Consultant, Leanne Elliot, was just brilliant. She delved deep with good questions to draw out things I hadn't consciously considered, and led me through a narrative development exercise to help identify the path I wanted to take, and ultimately, to build my brand. The result was a concise, yet compelling narrative threaded throughout the final collateral, and a strong professional brand I am excited about. The first position I applied for secured an interview (my first in many years), and I was the successful candidate. I can't recommend Arielle enough to any leader or executive seeking clarity and a strong brand to take the next step in their career. The investment is worth every cent. In terms of time investment, your effort and engagement in the process will determine the end result, so I recommend trusting the process and going deep! Thank you to Leanne for your patience and guidance, and to Irene and her great team!

I was recommended Arielle when I saw an opportunity to move to a new industry. Philippa helped me with a complete brand refresh uncovering the transferable skills that I didn’t realise I had. Not only did this give me confidence but also helped me secure a new role. The key is the personal touch and the deep level of understanding of your career journey and ambitions. AI really can’t replicate this

My first interaction with Arielle Executive was in 2019. I’d noticed my colleague’s LinkedIn profile really jumped off the page to me; we were at the same company in a similar level and role and I wondered how he’d created such a descriptive and catchy explanation of his experiences - his answer was Arielle Executive. From the first introduction, my experience has been exceptional. The team is prompt, professional and on top of every detail and question that comes to mind.Working with Arielle Executive transcends mere deliverables; my experience working with my consultant, Philippa, has given me a boost in confidence by having an an expert who could review and discuss my myriad life, work, and educational experiences and reflect this back to me in a refined and elevated manner - in a way that I simply wouldn’t be able to do alone. My brand positioning and updated CV lets me put my best foot forward and allows my work and accomplishments to speak for themselves through the written word.Arielle Executive is a key part of my career toolkit, and a relationship I will continue to invest in as I progress professionally.

The team at Arielle were very professional and also personable. They were great in creating an overarching brand story and consistent narrative. I was really pleased with how my resume was crafted and developed. The interview coaching was also excellent. I have no hesitation in utilising & recommending their services in the future.

Value for money? Unconditional "yes". The professionalism, attention to detail, timeliness of feedback and the final quality of the consultancy and information supplied stand out in the crowded market of employment consultancies. They do so, by creating a professional "This is ME" picture" rather than just offering an SEO service for a job search.The initial "invest" will most likely show a significant RoI in my new, next role.Apart from just and wholeheartedly thanking the whole team at AeX, my special thanks go out to Philippa, who has been throughout the process -and still remains- a beacon of support, customer service -in ultimate professional competence-.Marc von Briel

Right from the start, Phillipa demonstrated an amazing ability to understand my professional journey and experience. She took the time to listen to my story and reflect my professional expertise in a way that sets me apart from others in a highly competitive leadership landscape. Her attention to detail and personalized approach helped me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Arielle Executive to anyone looking for a practical approach to advancing their professional career.

Arielle Executive exceeded my expectations by more than 100%. They specialize in the industry, and the value they provide is spectacular. Irene and Philippa are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. The initial consultation call with Irene lasted almost an hour, during which she patiently listened to me and provided thorough guidance on my next career steps. Philippa, with her friendly and professional expertise, conducted three phenomenal career strategy sessions. Together, we identified the skills to showcase for my next career move. Philippa also helped me leverage my personal and professional skills to enhance my CV, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. I highly recommend them, and for me, Philippa is the go-to person for any future career needs. Arielle Executive understands individuals' capabilities and delivers excellent value for money. Thank you Irene and Philippa :)

I was referred to Arielle by a partner of a big 5 search firm who said something along the lines of “I don’t normally refer my senior candidates to other organisations, but this is a business I trust. I’ve seen their resumes, spoken to many of their past clients. I wouldn’t go elsewhere.”From the first interaction, the team have been exceptional: commercially insightful, professional yet approachable. The branding journey prompted a level of self-reflection that was challenging, rewarding and necessary at this important juncture of my career.Thank you team for translating the essence of our discussions into a value proposition & brand narrative that captures the intricate nuance of my professional journey. It’s helped me get clear on my own value so that I can speak to the market with clarity.

The team at Arielle Executive were fantastic from start to finish - Philippa in particular, who invested considerable time in understanding my career to date, and used that understanding to create an amazing set of assets that instantly yet compellingly convey who I am, what I'm about and what I've achieved. I feel well positioned for the next step in my career - which I've already secured.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Irene on a personal branding journey, and feel compelled to share my exceptional experience.From the outset, Irene demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricacies of personal branding. The conversational approach, and thoughtful questions forced me to really reflect on my experiences and achievements. After reviewing the draft documents it was clear that Irene has an exceptional ability to listen, understand and translate the hours of conversation into a personal brand that not only reflected my professional identity but also sets me apart in a competitive landscape.I highly recommend Arielle Executive for anyone seeking a personalised and effective approach to personal branding. Irene's expertise has undoubtedly elevated my professional presence. Thank you, Irene for a transformative experience.

My experience with Arielle Executive and specifically with Phillipa was exceptional. I am extremely happy with the outputs and the process was very good for me to form up my overall positioning in the market. My old head of comms said my CV was a 'masterclass' of writing, and he is a very hard marker!

A few months ago, I was on the lookout for some help to rethink and articulate my long career story so I could embark on a new journey. After many many years in the same organisation and a rather fulfilling 22 years, the whole idea of trying to come up with a resume was not just a hard thing to pen down, going back to the job market to look for something felt so daunting especially with a hazy head. And so I started exploring and asking around about who could help me think straight.I wasn’t really after a resume writer but someone who’s much more then that. Someone who could help me relook at my entire career journey, help me sift through the tons of things I’ve done, get me to step out of myself and relook at all that information and to help craft a succinct story based on hard facts. At the same time, I wanted to avoid any advice that injected overly creative rhetoric which could make me look and feel overdressed.The Arielle team gave me exactly what I wanted AND more!! Over a period of weeks I met some absolutely brilliant HR leaders at Arielle who completely transformed how I looked at myself and the kinds of professional choices I’d make in the months to come.The initial conversation convinced me that this isn’t just another ‘resume writing service’ which would just templatize my work and throw it back at me and vanish. I was convinced that this is the kind of bespoke help I needed; a completely different way of approaching a career reflection challenge.And then Philippa stepped in and spent hours and hours with me decoding my career including self discovery and brand discovery consultations that lead to an amazing well articulated career description, a differentiated skills list and most importantly, a brand positioning that would breathe oxygen into my thinking process.That was followed by some out of the world discussions with another expert who stress-tested my self-reflection and gave me some very helpful advice on how I should be going about with the next steps of my journey including sharing his experience as an HR leader and how he would rate me if I were to meet him for a job. That feedback was so real, it woke me up to the kind of advice no one ever gave me in all these years.And just when I thought I had all I wanted, one day I got a call from the big boss of the Arielle team. Completely unsolicited. Speaking to Irene took the discussions to a whole new level of career counselling and engagement. It was almost like speaking to an executive career advisor, a coach, a Counselor, a psychologist and an amazing entrepreneur all at once. And that put me in a whole new mindspace of thinking differently and possibly even reshaping my views about how to go about all things - value creation.In a nutshell, I couldn’t have been more lucky to have crossed paths with the Arielle team. They showed me that when you really love doing something, you’d go far beyond the remit even without being asked for. And now I look back at my journey, and look forward at my options and think very differently from when I was a few months ago.A big thank you to Irene and her entire team at Arielle.

I researched several companies looking for a professionally written CV and Linkedin branding. Arielle Executive was selected due to their website content, great reviews and also the initial discussions i had with them. I'm based in the UK and would not have selected them had they not had a consultant based here. Several good reviews named Philippa Counsell directly(she is based in the UK), and that left me with a feeling of reassurance. The career meditation took me nearly three hours to complete and the call with Philippa another two. She is a great listener and knew exactly when to interject and ask relevant questions. The final versions of my CV, Linkedin profile and also BIO, are excellent and far exceed my already high expectations. Their service isn't cheap but it is great value for results they provide.
