While elements of the CEO role may vary from one business to another, their responsibilities are characteristically consistent, with specific strengths marking out an individual for future success as a CEO – leadership, courage and innovation. We know how to find people with these qualities, whether for public companies or private equity-backed businesses.

Our clients depend on us to move fast and confidentially. The individuals we introduce to our clients regularly change not only the future direction of their business, but sometimes also of the industries those businesses operate in. Working right at the apex of the skills pyramid, we work creatively to identify the right individual who can make a lasting difference – and we encourage our clients to think outside their comfort zones too, removing barriers to finding the best candidate.

Where our clients agree, in order to minimise risk on both sides, we bring a scientific lens by conducting rigorous psychometric assessments of in-scope CEOs. This is particularly relevant in challenging business environments.
