CEO and board recruitment

With more than 30 years’ experience and a hugely diverse range of clients and networks across multiple sectors and geographies, Alumni are experts in finding exceptional chairs, non-executives and CEOs for major organisations.

The pressure on the board for agile leadership has never been greater with growing demands from stakeholders and ever-increasing governance set against an uncertain economic landscape. Diversity of thought is key to boardroom dynamism and we will partner with you to find not only the obvious candidates but the right candidates.

A soundly built and effective board is the best strategic asset an organisation can have and partnering a proficient board with a competent CEO acting as the operational force is a recipe for success.

 Our contributed value:

  • We invest time to really understand your business, industry and specific opportunities and challenges.

  • We work with, and challenge, our clients to articulate the objectives and the subsequent candidate profile in close collaboration with our client, drawing upon our in-depth understanding of successful leadership and the relevant candidate pool.

  • Our collaborative, one-firm approach allows our clients to benefit from our collective networks and insights; across multiple geographies, sectoral expertise, and generations.

  • We have solid experience of psychometric testing. In close collaboration with you as our client we find the right solution that meets your unique requirements, always in line with your people strategy, goals and corporate culture.

 
“Our dedicated consultants leverage the comprehensive network and experience Alumni carries, along with specific industry knowledge and integral understanding of the ever-changing nature of various leadership roles.”
