Financial Officers

We put together the best team for each search and draw on our network of contacts with CEOs, CFOs and leaders in the financial world. We use proven research methods to identify further qualified senior prospects across the industry.

Human Resources

The human resources function is a key driver of organisational performance and a critical element in business success. The demands made of human resources executives have increased significantly in recent years. With increased competitiveness and growing acknowledgement by CEO’s the best practice in HR significantly impacts the ability of an organisation to deliver on their strategic business objectives.

The HR executive plays an important role in a growing number of areas. As such they require business acumen, marketing knowledge and expertise in organizational behavior, culture and value creation.

Leaders in this space bridge the divide between the business and technology delivering meaningful and measurable results. Your company is likely to expect technology to transform businesses and drive organisational change.

These capabilities enable businesses to move forward, evolve and prosper.

The roles of general counsel, head of risk, head of compliance, head of audit, company secretary, and other legal positions have developed significantly in the last few years. They assist a business to move forward with a degree of confidence and execute on strategic plans.

A growing emphasis on corporate governance and compliance has given legal officers a key role in large companies. The ability to interpret and understand changing environments and new environments is crucial for our clients. Our team supports that development and the forward progression of our clients’.

A companies supply chain increasingly is being recognized as a key differentiator among leading companies. Best practices in the supply chain drives businesses forward ahead of competitors. Globalisation, low-cost country sourcing and relentless cost reduction together with customer service pressures have moved supply chain from a tactical function to a strategic function that adds immense value to the business.

Aligning distribution centres, procurement and logistics with improved customer service, vendor relationships and technological efficiencies drives top-line growth. Our team can assist your business to extract that advantage by providing you best in breed talent to your business.
