Head of Business Development

Oliver Gale

Oliver Gale

In my role, I support colleagues in managing client relationships, helping to ensure we deliver a high-quality service and identify opportunities to introduce additional services where appropriate. Alongside this, I focus on deepening relationships across other parts of our clients’ businesses and thinking about them through a multi-service-line lens.

As Head of Business Development, I support both internally and externally. Internally, I help our senior colleagues understand the requirements of business development, support their outreach activities, and assist them in managing client relationships and sales processes. Externally, I drive my own pipeline of work through an extensive network of CFOs, while also leveraging relationships with banks and other introducers.

After completing my degree in Psychology, I always knew that I wanted to work with people. Having worked in various client-facing roles, I have worked at three of the Top 10 firms, including KPMG and RSM, before joining Gerald Edelman in early 2026. I’ve got a lovely wife and daughter, and a dog called Milo. I love sport, play a lot of golf, and enjoy doing Parkrun with my little girl.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Be able to fly.

What one piece of advice would you give your 10-year-old self?

Work hard and give yourself options later in life, but enjoy it along the way!

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?

Probably Micky Flanagan because I wouldn’t stop laughing.

Who inspires you?

My wife and daughter.
