More than just Executive Search, we have an unrivalled reputation across the scaleup & VC communities. We’ve spent decades partnering with high-growth businesses and have helped shape the leadership teams at some of the most globally recognised unicorns. From seed to Series C, self-funded to publicly limited, both in times of growth and periods of consolidation, we have worked with a broad spectrum of game changing businesses.
Scaleups and tech-fuelled business choose us because we do things differently: our business has been built around the unique needs of ever-evolving, tech-fuelled scaleups and so, agility, transparency and collaboration sit at the heart of everything we do. Our business is built around relationships, not transactions, which is why our client partnerships usually start long before a job description is written and last way beyond a superstar joining a business.
Every business we partner with has a different need, so we work hard to ensure that we are able to work in whatever way is going to be most impactful. At our core, are four distinct services:
- Executive Search, Leadership & Board Hires: we partner seamlessly with you to track down the most gifted and in demand talent to help you fill business critical senior strategic roles
- Executive Search Lite: helping you hire high performing and brilliant teams, ensuring your unique culture & diversity is reflected in every new face that joins the business
- Consulting & Career Coaching: we provide strategic organisational design advice and industry leading assessment tools, as well as individual career coaching
- Transition Coaching: We help you support employees to move on to new opportunities with confidence, minimising damage to your employer reputation and staff morale
Executive Search, Leadership & Board Hires
We are experts in Executive Search, specialising in supporting the scaleups and game changers of today and the superheroes of tomorrow. Whether you are a founding team of a disruptive scaleup, or trusted global brand reimagining your own world, we partner seamlessly to attract, acquire and retain the most gifted talent globally, enabling you to grow and flourish.
Driven by data and transparency, we craft detailed reports (or bite-sized chunks – if you prefer!), valuable market insights and access to our unrivalled network of Talent and our team of experts will work to identify, engage and nurture stand-out talent on your behalf.
We created a different roadmap
We are the first to admit that traditionally the Executive Search process can be stale, slow, and somewhat frustrating. That’s why we decided to re-route the navigation and take a different path to hiring senior leaders; finding fast, agile and innovative solutions to a usually long and arduous process.
Our key focus is on tracking down the best talent to help you future-proof your business. To make this happen, we operate two search lanes: one our own Fast Track process to get to a consensus as quickly and efficiently as possible, the other covering traditional executive search techniques.
We thrive on the ever-evolving needs of growing businesses and will work with you in unison, shifting direction as needed, matching your pace and agility.

Roles hired
From Managers to Department heads, we have an exceptional track record of building high performing teams across the following functions:
- Sales
- Marketing
- People & Talent
- Operations
- Finance
- Product
- Customer Experience
Consulting & Career Coaching
Whether it’s due to growth, restructuring, acquisition or innovation, we know that at both a corporate and individual level, ensuring you are able to navigate change, tackle problems and capitalise on new opportunities is vital.
Combining our extensive expertise in shaping the leadership teams of tech-fuelled businesses, with the latest science and psychometric assessment tools, our consultants will help build a clear picture of a leader’s potential, strengths, performance risks and culture fit.
We also work one-on-one with individuals who are themselves going through change: using practical, engaging and customised coaching, we work with talent to help them unlock their full potential, enabling them to add value, build resilience and become fit for the future.
Transition Coaching
When businesses need to down-scale, we believe it’s important that they provide outgoing employees with the support necessary to move on positively and with confidence to new opportunities. Investing in people, even when they are leaving the business is one of the strongest ways of showing that you can show you are a ‘people first’ business.
With decades of experience coaching candidates across their careers, with CV writing, interview preparation and network development, and our track record of partnering with fast-paced businesses we are extremely well-placed to provide outplacement support.
