Meet the Team
Industry Specialists, Not Generalists
Adam Beverley
Founder & Managing Director
Founder of APB Strategy. Started APB in 2021 to bring specialist executive search discipline to two service-economy verticals where generalist recruiters don't go deep enough. Career background spans sales leadership in the Australian telecommunications industry and specialist recruitment across the service economy. Adam runs the firm and personally leads the Freight & Logistics desk; Walter Sambrook leads the Facilities Services desk. Each desk's senior consultant owns their searches end to end.
Walter Sambrook
Principal Consultant
Facilities ServicesPrincipal Consultant on the Facilities Services desk, leading commercial cleaning, security, building maintenance and integrated FM recruitment. Walter pairs deep operator networks across the Australian facilities market with a background in HR and Psychology — useful when the question is whether a candidate who looks right on paper will hold up in a contract-services environment where tender cycles run long and the operations bench has to vouch for them.
George Mitchell
Senior Consultant
Facilities ServicesSenior Consultant on the Facilities Services desk, specialising in commercial cleaning, security and integrated FM. George's strength is the relationship work that surfaces senior commercial operators most aren't actively looking for — the BDMs, sales managers and commercial directors who'd take a call about a confidential opportunity but wouldn't respond to a job ad.
Callum Meecham
Executive Consultant
Freight & LogisticsExecutive Consultant on the Freight & Logistics desk. Callum focuses on international and domestic freight forwarding, contract logistics and 3PL — three sub-segments where the senior commercial talent pool is small, well-networked, and rarely on the open market. Strong on the matchmaking discipline that holds confidential searches together through long cycles.
Jhanine Dominguez
Executive Consultant
Facilities ServicesExecutive Consultant on the Facilities Services desk, focused on commercial cleaning, security and integrated FM recruitment across the Australian market. Jhanine brings cross-functional operations discipline to the candidate-care workflow — pre-screening, confidential profile development, and the day-to-day rigour that keeps senior searches on track from brief to placement.
Bai Patangan
Executive Consultant
Facilities ServicesExecutive Consultant on the Facilities Services desk, with substantial recruitment experience deployed against the commercial cleaning, security and integrated FM markets. Particularly strong on the hard-to-reach senior BDMs and commercial leads with tender-bid experience that don't surface in standard search.
Joyce Gionson
Senior Specialist
Both DesksSenior Specialist supporting both desks. Joyce builds the pre-mapped candidate pipelines that let APB deliver a first endorsement within 24 hours of brief sign-off — the discipline behind the headline number, applied across Facilities Services and Freight & Logistics.
Client Testimonials

We'd been through two unsuccessful searches with generalist firms before APB. The brief Adam came back with was the most accurate read of our commercial bench we'd seen — he'd already mapped the people we'd been trying to find for nine months. The National Sales Manager he placed had personally won a multi-state cleaning contract at a prior employer worth more than our entire NSW book; within twelve months he'd repeated it for us.

I'd told three other recruiters what we were looking for and got back a stream of CVs from people who'd never sold an international freight contract. APB came back with three candidates in three weeks — two of whom had each closed a seven-figure airfreight account in the prior twelve months. The person we hired had been the BD lead for a competing forwarder we'd lost a tender to two years earlier. Two months in and a major retailer signed.

The difference with APB is they understand operations, not just sales. Our top performers need to read a tender like a P&L and hold a credible conversation with a head of operations on day one. APB's candidates do that — the BDM we placed has won three federal government contracts in the twelve months since.
