London-based offshoring specialist The Legends Agency has appointed Jesse Stevenson as business development lead.

Jesse brings over a decade of experience in business development, scaling teams and driving enterprise growth.

He will lead the company’s next phase as demand rises for skilled South African professionals.

Jesse’s appointment comes amid growing recognition of South African talent, valued for world-class skills, English proficiency and competitive rates.
