Functional Expertise

---

We place executive leaders from Board Level through to Heads of Function.

Board/C-Suite

Effective Boards are essential for shareholders and key stakeholders throughout an organisation – whatever the ownership structure. We work with our PLC, family owned or PE-backed clients to ensure that the dynamic of the Board works well together, brings balance, diversity, innovative thinking and ultimately drives growth and value in the organisation.

Commercial, strategy and sales

We understand commercial leadership and its continued evolution in an ever-changing marketplace. The fast pace of digital and e-commerce has led to this functional area being an essential hire. Now driven by data and an omnichannel mindset we find commercial and strategic leaders with a mindset of a restless pursuit of growth.

Finance

Our experience in finance at CFO, FD and Divisional FD level has led to appointments that support the overall strategic direction of our clients’ businesses alongside a strong understanding of leveraging key business drivers.

Human resources

People strategy is integral to commercial success whether in a period of consolidation, growth or transformation. Culture has always been a key element of any executive search process but now we see it playing out in detail and depth within the HR role – the employee value proposition is key alongside traditional aspects of HR leadership.

Tech

The best tech leaders are comfortable managing the convergence of technologies, data integration, and connectivity. Senior IT leaders play a vital role in increasing productivity, protecting the organisation from internal/external threats, and future-proofing operations.

Marketing

Senior marketing appointments have never been more complex, reflecting the omnichannel, ‘always on’ world in which consumers now make purchasing decisions. Data, analytics and insights have become a core part of the marketing function alongside considerations of how brands demonstrate their purpose looking beyond the traditional elements of the marketing mix.

Procurement, logistics and distribution

The best procurement, logistics and distribution leaders are balancing supply risks across international and local markets, alongside cost constraints. Our expertise in this space has enabled our clients to make strong hiring decisions which have helped provide greater certainty and control.

Supply chain and operations

Never has supply chain and operations been under such spotlight as it is today. This is a highly strategic functional area in which we support our clients in finding exceptional talent to ensure global competitive advantage.
