Our founder

About Victoria McLean

Victoria founded City CV to close the gap between what talented people had achieved and how effectively they communicated that value to employers.

Her earlier career took her from recruitment in Sydney and London to Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, giving her first-hand insight into how organisations identify, assess and select talent.

For more than two decades, Victoria and the City CV team have supported thousands of clients across sectors and career stages. That experience continues to shape the practical, personal and results-focused support City CV provides today.
