Displaying links to other profile pages, while maintaining good white space

Question

I am designing a profiles page for a website where by the names and position of company employees should be displayed on all profile pages for easy navigation.

I do not want to put a <ul> to the left of the image, that may likely make the page a bit busy, the other option I am thinking is to use a marquee, but that also seems to break down sometimes.

My question is, how can I put well designed links on that page sample while maintaining a good balance of white space.

Thank you.

I'd say you should implement a landing page for profiles, since the profile page should only show the profile and things related to that profile. The only possible valid profile links would be a small organizational browser to see the current profiles colleagues, managers and subordinates.

The profile landing page could display both a organizational browser and a profile search. That way the implementation would be scalable, which your initial design isn't.
