Denise Shillito, EVP Global People Advisory, Vistra
“I had the pleasure of working with Oli at Vistra, where he quickly became an extension of the team. Oli understood the intensity, pace and complexities of working with a PE-backed company.
He played a pivotal role in securing top interim global talent across key markets - eg, the US, UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Each hire was carefully aligned to drive focused outcomes and accelerate momentum. What stood out most was how effortless and efficient the process felt. Due to Oli's extensive network, Oli delivered specialist talent who not only hit the ground running but brought deep expertise in transformation, people change, and execution.
If you're looking for a trusted partner who can deliver results, Oli is exactly who you want by your side.” -
Jens Moller-Butcher, ex COO, Quilter Investors
I've had the pleasure of working with Oli Templeton over the past two years. Oli operates seamlessly across the C-suite, HR, senior management, and executive committees. He quickly understands an organisation’s commercial and budget realities, and his genuine, straightforward approach builds lasting trust.
It’s no surprise that once businesses work with Oli, they return to him again and again — as I saw firsthand at Quilter, where he first placed me as Interim Operations Director and then deepened his engagement across the business. His deep network, business acumen, and ability to deliver make him stand out in the interim and consulting space. I highly recommend him.
