Candidates
For the leaders I approach
An approach about a senior appointment is rarely expected, and it deserves the same care as the appointment itself. Whether or not the role proves right for you, you should come away feeling that your time and your position were respected.
In complete confidence
Every conversation is held in confidence. Your name is never shared with a client without your explicit consent, and never before you understand the role, the organisation and the reasons behind the search.
Candour, in both directions
Each conversation begins with an honest picture of the role, its potential and its difficulties alike. Where I believe it may not be the right step for you, I will say so. In turn, I value the same openness, for the most enduring appointments are founded on mutual understanding.
Beyond the search
A single conversation can be the beginning of a lasting relationship. Whatever the outcome of a particular search, I value what follows it. I hope to remain a discreet source of counsel as your career develops, whether the right moment comes now or in years to come.
Making yourself known
Roles are never advertised, and most conversations begin with an approach from me. If you are a senior leader and would welcome a confidential conversation about your future, you are welcome to write to me directly. Every message is read personally and treated in confidence.
