About me
A background in investment and acquisitions recruitment
At my previous employer I was the sole person in charge of all things investment and acquisitions, working across all asset classes for investors and developers within the UK, Europe, and the Middle-East. I also ran the business development and strategy in the expansion to clients in Dubai.
What I do at Cobalt
I place top-tier and highly skilled investment and acquisition candidates into the most highly regarded real estate investors, developers, and PE firms in the country throughout both residential and commercial asset classes.
Why I do what I do
I get to constantly speak to both clients and candidates who are at the top of their game and work on some of the most incredible projects and developments in the world. It's honestly super exciting to get such detailed insights into the market.
Knowing I can add value to both a person’s career journey along with strengthening a client’s team so they can work on these projects to the best of their ability is an honour for me.
Away from the desk I…
I am an amateur boxer, so really enjoy training and have around 5 to 6 fights a year. I also love to travel and have lived in multiple cities including Paris, Copenhagen, Prague, Zurich, and Thailand.

The best thing about working at Cobalt is the collaborative nature in the business and culture of sharing and teamwork. Not every role sits in one neat little box within my own industry sector, and it’s a good feeling to be able to count on colleague’s support and expertise when you need it most.

The ability to become a specialist in your space is something the business fully supports you with and the fact that you get to collaborate with some truly great people along the way is a bonus!

I love that you can go into any Cobalt office anywhere in the globe and know it's a Cobalt office, not by the branding or the set up, but by the approach of the people to doing their job, the fact that you are greeted like a (welcome!) family member and a genuine desire to learn and develop.
Sara Burton - Global Operations Director
