Executive search for the leaders who shape what happens next
Director to C-suite appointments across the Middle East, UK, Europe and US, led personally by our founder.
The leaders you need are rarely looking. They are delivering, well rewarded and loyal to the business they run today. Reaching them takes more than a job advert. It takes a clear brief, a mapped market and a conversation they trust.
Our executive search is built for the appointments where getting it wrong is expensive: new market entry, transformation, succession and roles that sit close to the board.

How an executive search runs
Every search follows the same disciplined path, so you always know where it stands.
- BriefWe agree what success looks like in the first 12 months, not just the job title.
- MapWe map the market: who does this job well today, where they sit and what would make them move.
- ApproachDirect, discreet approaches and real conversations. No mass messages.
- AssessWe test depth, delivery and leadership against your scorecard before anyone reaches you.
- ShortlistA focused shortlist with a written view on every candidate.
- CloseWe manage offer, counter-offer and notice period so your hire actually starts.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an executive search take?
It depends on the role and the market. We agree a timeline at the briefing call and share progress every week. Time to start then depends on notice periods, which are often longer at senior level in the UK and Europe than in the Gulf.
Do you charge a retainer?
No. You only pay when your new hire starts. If they leave within 90 days, we run a replacement search free of charge.
Can you search across borders?
Yes. We often search in one market for a role based in another, for example UK or European leaders for roles in Riyadh or Dubai. We understand relocation, packages and what makes a move work for the family as well as the candidate.
Can you run a search without naming our business?
Yes. We can approach candidates without naming your business until the right point in the process, and we only share details when it is appropriate.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on the role, the market and the search model. Contact us for pricing and we will send a clear proposal after the briefing call.
Planning a leadership hire?
Tell us about the role. We will come back within 24 hours with an honest view of the market and how we would run the search.
