Paddy Lambros

Paddy is a Talent Director at Atomico, based in London. He supports the portfolio companies and founders to find, hire, and develop world class teams.

He spent the last eight years working with founders and start-ups solving all manner of people and talent challenges. These include finding exceptional people, international expansion, crafting company culture and building executive teams. He began his startup career with Improbable. helping to scale their engineering teams, first in London but then in San Francisco and Washington DC. During that time, he recruited across every business function and built and led a sourcing team that competed for the world's best talent with the FAANG’s of the world, despite not having their unlimited budgets and ubiquitous brands.

After that, he joined Sensat, growing the team from 20 to 90 employees whilst the business more than tripled its revenues and customer base. He led the People and Talent functions, designing and implementing the full spectrum of People-related programs from hiring through onboarding, reviews and culture setting. Alongside this, I’ve supported a dozen or more Seed and Series A businesses across performance management, salary benchmarking, manager training and coaching leaders. He is excited to partner with Atomico’s portfolio companies to share some of his experience and help to build exceptional, diverse teams helping to solve meaningful world problems.
