Our Founder
David St Martin
(affectionately known as Saint)
Based in Essex, UK, Saint operates with a global mindset supported by an extensive network that spans industries and continents. With nearly 30 years of executive recruitment and thought leadership experience, he founded Bailey Jude in 2015 to bring a more purposeful, people-centred approach to talent and business growth.
Saint has spent two decades perfecting his craft by connecting exceptional talent with the right opportunities and helping organisations secure leaders who can make a lasting impact. Alongside his team, he brings a cross-disciplinary focus, combining deep market understanding with complete professionalism and integrity.
Driven by purpose and a commitment to adding genuine value, Saint believes in building relationships that last and in creating outcomes that benefit both clients and candidates. Away from work, he keeps active with his family, enjoying long walks and runs with their chocolate Labrador and young son. His guiding philosophy is simple: improve your day by 1% and you will amplify your life.
