Overview
How we approach technology leadership and executive search hiring
Leadership search is not a fifth specialism here. It is how we operate at the top of each practice, using the same networks that produce senior individual contributors.
Appointments at this level are usually confidential, often run while an incumbent remains in post, and always assessed against the stage a business is genuinely at rather than the one it aspires to.
