Executive search for C-suite and board leadership

What we search for

• Senior functional leadership: Group heads of technology, finance, operations and human resources.
• Country and regional leadership for organisations entering or scaling in the UK, the Gulf and South Asia.

How a search runs

Executive search is not database retrieval. The people worth appointing are rarely applying for anything. The work is mapping a market, approaching people discreetly, and assessing them properly.

• Mandate and specification. We agree the remit, the reporting line, the commercial context and what success looks like in the first year.
• Market mapping. We build a picture of who holds equivalent responsibility across the relevant sectors and geographies, including people who are not visible.
• Discreet approach. Candidates are approached confidentially. Your name is disclosed only when it is appropriate to do so.
• Assessment. Structured interviewing against the specification, not a CV screen.
• Referencing and close. Formal referencing, offer management and support through resignation and notice.

Why organisations use us for this

• Speed without shortcuts. A Group CIO closed in 45 days from requirement.
• Discretion by default. Every mandate runs under NDA. Client and candidate identities are protected.
• Three jurisdictions. Registered entities in the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan, so cross-border appointments are handled properly.
• Direct partner contact. You work with the founding team, not an account manager.
