Charles Hipps founded Oleeo 25 years ago, launching the world's first e-recruitment solution. An innovator by nature, Charles has never stopped looking for new ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of talent acquisition. In recent years this includes the application of AI and automation in recruiting. He sees this Recruiting Enablement as a game changer for leaders, and the future of talent acquisition.

A graduate from Oxford University, Charles has lived all over the world. Known (by some) as Fishy or The Wave, you can find him in the pool or sea most days and he has swam with dolphins and followed a whale shark on his scuba adventures. In addition, he loves to cycle to work every day and has cycled in South America through the Atacama, in North America, in China, New Zealand, down the Nile, and through Vietnam in his time! Nowadays, Charles loves spending time with his family when not busy dealing with the day-to-day business of running Oleeo.
