What we do
Board Search
Chair, non-executive, and committee appointments that strengthen governance and oversight.
Our board search practice appoints chairs, non-executive directors and committee members. We work with chairs, nomination committees and owners to define the capability, independence and perspective the board needs next, then identify directors who can contribute from their first meeting.

Common questions
What clients ask before they engage us
- What is board search?
- Board search is the recruitment of non-executive directors, committee chairs and board chairs. It starts from a skills-matrix and governance review rather than a role profile, because the question is what the board collectively lacks.
- How is a board search different from an executive search?
- Board candidates are assessed for judgment, independence and contribution in a room they do not manage, rather than for operating delivery. Timelines follow board calendars, and references are weighted toward fellow directors.
- Do you help with board composition and succession as well as appointments?
- Yes. We run skills-matrix reviews, board effectiveness input and chair succession planning, and boards frequently engage us for that work before any appointment is agreed.
