Our executive search solution
From the outset, we worked closely with the founders to understand the values, history, and future vision for the business. Our goal was twofold: to identify a candidate with the right technical and commercial skillset, and - equally importantly - someone who could earn the confidence and trust of the owners during this critical handover period.
Using our proprietary research intelligence, we mapped a targeted list of candidates across adjacent sectors and competitor organisations, focusing on those with relevant domain knowledge and the leadership maturity to step into the role without disruption.
Together with the client, we refined the candidate profile and ensured alignment at every stage. This process produced a shortlist of six candidates, each evaluated for their technical expertise, leadership capability, and cultural fit. All six progressed to first-round interviews with the founders. After thorough reference checks and financial due diligence, an offer was extended and accepted by a standout candidate, an executive who was already well-known to us through a prior client relationship.
Client’s return on investment
The appointed General Manager transitioned into the business seamlessly and within a short timeframe. His early impact included stabilising operations, identifying cost optimisation opportunities, and driving new revenue streams. With the founders now confidently stepping back from day-to-day operations, the business remains privately held and in safe hands, continuing to grow under steady, capable leadership.
