Functional Leadership
CFO, CHRO, CMO, COO, CIO, CSO — the heads of function reporting directly to the CEO or business owner. Retained, partner-led, full diligence.
Corporate Functional
The roles that decide whether a strategy survives contact with the market — heads of function, divisional leaders, principal consultants, and the senior managers who run the floor.

VPs, Directors, AGMs — the layer below the leadership team that owns delivery, P&L lines, regional units, and large engineering or operations groups.
Principals, Engagement Managers, and Strategy Heads — for in-house corporate strategy teams and Tier-1 consulting practices.
PMO leads, transformation directors, and certified programme managers running multi-year, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
General Counsels, Heads of Tax, Internal Audit, Investor Relations, ESG & Sustainability — the specialised seats that don't fit a vertical desk.
Senior interim leaders, fractional CFOs/CHROs, and turnaround specialists — engaged for 90 to 180 days while a permanent search runs.

Six commitments that hold across every mandate in this practice. Not aspirations defaults.
When a sitting leader is being replaced, the entire mandate runs as a sealed engagement — no posted JDs, no platform listings, no external referencing without your written sign-off.
After the joining date, our partners run structured check-ins with both the hire and the hiring manager at thirty, sixty, and ninety days.
Before we open a search, our partners spend a half-day with your leadership team to map the operating culture, decision rhythms, and political topography.
