Building your team for what comes next
Partnering with CEOs and Founders to build the Boards and senior leadership teams required for the next stage of growth.
Growth changes what you need from your leadership team
International expansion, institutional investment, GTM acceleration, product development and M&A can all change the capabilities required around the leadership table.
We work with CEOs and Founders to understand where the business is going, the capability already in place and the leadership required for what comes next.
We understand your business
We invest time upfront to understand your strategy, culture, ambitions and existing leadership team.
An appointment shouldn't be considered in isolation. We look at where the business is going, the capabilities you already have and where additional leadership can have the greatest impact.
We get the right people round the table
Not every leadership challenge requires an executive search.
Sometimes the most useful next step is an introduction—to an experienced Board member, investor, functional specialist or another CEO who has tackled a similar challenge.
Twenty years in the technology market gives us a network we can draw on to help clients make better decisions as they grow.
We build the team
As a business scales, a strong and well-rounded leadership team gives the CEO the capacity to focus on the areas where they can have the greatest impact.
We build Boards and senior leadership teams across Go-to-Market, Product & Engineering, Finance and Operations—whether that's a single critical appointment or a broader leadership build-out.
Leadership across the business
We work across Board, C-Suite and senior leadership roles for technology companies:
BOARD
Chair · NED · Advisor
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
CEO · CFO · COO · CHRO
GO-TO-MARKET
CRO · CCO · CMO · VP CS · VP Sales

TEAM BUILD-OUTS
Multiple senior appointments to build or transform a leadership team.
Built on long-term relationships
Many of our clients, candidates, Board members and investors have worked with us repeatedly over many years. We measure success not simply by making an appointment, but by whether that person goes on to make a meaningful contribution to a business.
17+ years:
Our longest serving placement, the CEO of an investor backed advanced materials business, joined the company in 2009 and is still running the business today.
3 PE owners:
A CEO we placed guided a software business through 3 rounds of PE ownership, scaled revenues beyond £100m and led multiple successful exits.
Multiple roles:
A CEO we placed guided a software business through successful growth and exit, and was then appointed by the same PE investor to both another CEO role and a Non-Executive Chair position in their portfolio.
Team Build-outs:
We regularly place 4 or 5 members of the Board and C-Suite into companies. It enables us to build a combination of the right experience, skillset and cultural alignment.
"Ed has played a key role in building our executive team. He understood our strategy and helped position our business for growth. I value his advice and would highly recommend his consultative approach to other ambitious technology companies".
