Our Team
Gail Cox, Owner / Manager
Motto: "You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf." - A Buddhist Monk
I am fascinated by human behaviour and what drives people and makes meaning. I learn something new about myself every day and my teachers are all the people I meet! I am constantly learning and growing. I love people and the fact that I have spent the last 19 years in corporate and agency recruitment is testament to that. I never underestimate the value that time and attention can give to others and my goal is to give that to someone every day. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful group of people working with me at Synergy. I love coming to work.

Motto: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill
Our profession requires a combination of courage, passion, empathy and the ability to laugh at yourself, even if no one else is! I am entering my 6th year with Synergy, 10th in the industry and have been fortunate to journey with a variety of people, from many different walks of life and have been rewarded with valuable lessons learnt at every turn. The most encouraging thing for me is to know that learning never stops – and for that I am eternally grateful. My goal is to continue to add value every day – no matter how big or small the impact.

Motto: "Being great at what you do isn't just something you do for the organisation you work for - It's a gift you give yourself" - Robin Sharma
After working as a Branch Manager in the Corporate Industry for ten years, I spread my wings and relocated to the UK for a few years. There I worked for a Retail Bank as an Assistant Manager, but made a career change and went to work for a Training Academy, where I was in charge of building and developing a new team. Fate then lead me to sunnier skies and I moved back to Cape Town where I worked for a Bond Broker for a few years. Joining Synergy has been such a positive experience for me. Every day I get to network and be part of building dreams. It is very fulfilling and rewarding!

Motto: "If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." - Thomas A. Edison
I graduated from Montrose Business College in 2009, having found particular passion in relation to Human Resources; I was thrilled to start my career in Recruitment. As I have only recently joined the working world, my experience thus far has been completely life changing and I feel blessed to have worked for Synergy for 2 years and gained the experience that I have. Ive always had a passion for people and I look forward to growing with the company, building relationships with clients and making my mark.
