Sam Cook

Sam joined Stone King's Executive Board as People Director in January 2026. Sam brings experience from a range of sectors including finance, consultancy, and law with a track record of leading significant change programmes.

Sam is passionate about the value a modern people function can bring to a professional services firm: not just supporting the business, but shaping its strategy and driving its success. That belief sits at the heart of Sam's work at Stone King, which is entering a period of exciting growth and evolution. Sam is leading the People Strategy that will underpin it, building the capability, culture, and structures needed for the firm to scale, while safeguarding the socially conscious, values-led identity that has always set Stone King apart.

Sam's focus is on making Stone King a firm where ambitious people can build genuinely rewarding careers, and where the values that define the firm's work with the purpose-driven clients it specialise in, are mirrored in how it treats its own people.
