Ah, ladies. Gentlemen. It's time for Russell Reynolds.
Oh, yes. I've been waiting for this. Savouring it in much the same way that I might savour an Hoyo de Monterrey cigar with a particularly fine Macallan single malt. There's nothing more fun than poking fun at a British branch of an American firm.

Firstly, I'd like to set out my choice for best looking chap. Well, it wasn't hard.
Peter Evans. Why? For this photo that was clearly taken while he was perched on the lavatory. Straining. That is the sort of style you need to develop to lead the firm's Asia/Pacific and Europe consumer sector.
And I can't help but notice that RR have got much better loos than us. Check out the little pot plant. Nice.
But, of course, it wouldn't be right to just look at the chaps. Oh no. THAT would be sexist. And I'd have to get a job at
Nomura.
As usual, there's a shortlist - quite a longlist really. Now, before I start, I am going to say I am going to work VERY HARD not to get too
smutty. Because I have such an irrational love for RR, I'm NOT going to do it.
Not too often, anyway.

First up I should mention
Katie Thomas. I am reliably informed that, were I a Japanese executive who's firm had recently made a substantial investment banking-shaped purchase, I might have to make a comment about "
honkers". But from this photo, I'm not so sure.

There's
Siobhan Caragher who - despite not wearing pearls in her picture - went to Exeter. Exeter girls are *always* marvellous. Although Ms. Caragher looks like she's not to be toyed with. Much more likely to 'toy' me in fact. Ouch.
Jane Dowding is also ex-Exeter. Wierdly, she's not wearing pearls in her photo. I thought that was part of the deal when they gave you a degree at Exeter. Either way, she looks rather
playful (sorry - no room for a picture - you'll have to click through). Very playful, in fact. Imagine the converstation with the corporate photographer that morning, "Now Ms. Dowding, could you give me a slightly playful smile. Christ, not that playful! My Savile Row will need a trip to the dry cleaners."
She looks almost as naughty as
Caroline Raggett (see above right).
And while we're on the subject of rather smart university careers, I should mention
Hetty Pye. She's got the pearls on in her picture - but much, much more importantly, she - oh, sweet Mary Mother of God, yes - was at
Brasenose.

Brasenose!
Anyone with ANY experience of Brasenose graduates will be able to tell you, that when it comes to intercourse, they are
utterly, UTTERLY corrupt. That college has the sexual morals of
ancient Rome. In fact, that's not fair. I'm selling them short. Caligula could have learnt a lot from the average Brasenose alumnus. I have been
staggered at the darkness of the horses that Brasenose has turned out. You'd never suspect it. Filthy. FILTHY!
Now, because I want this blog to be a bit of fun and not too offensive (although I think I'm probably stepping over the line with this post), I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING THE FOLLOWING OF HETTY PYE. I am sure Ms Pye is wonderful. Her photo and her CV suggest she's a clean-living serious professional. An asset to her firm. BUT the girls' I have banged from Brasenose were
obsessed with anal sex.
That's all I'm saying.
Agnes Greaves looks positively dangerous. I wouldn't risk trying to roll over for a nap when it was all over. You'd end up sleeping with the fishes. But I suppose
that risk is half the fun.

But ultimately, the number one spot cannot fail to go to anyone but
Sarah Galloway. Intelligent (a girl from the fenns) she's a member of the industrial/natural resources sector. And we are talking some top-notch natural resources if you ask me. She's a sort of corporate cross between
Kirsty Allsop and
Nigella Lawson. I was going to say more, but, frankly, it was about to get obscene. Even worse than the Brasenose comment.
If you want to know more, email me and I'll give you a couple of choice paragraphs.
