Board Search
The boardroom has never been under more scrutiny. At a time when expectations for board engagement, ethics, governance, and overall performance have never been higher, many boards lack unique perspectives and leadership. Our corporate board recruiters are experts in board search services, bringing decades of expertise to the hiring process and finding the right leader.
Boards are under pressure from the capital markets, media, regulators, shareholders, CEOs, and other constituencies to provide strategic value and ensure the enterprise’s sustainability through executive transitions and complex market conditions. Whether it’s advising individual board members, lead directors, committee chairs, or working with the entire board, we are expert consultants and widely known as a top-tier board of directors search firm that offers professional board advisory services for our clients:
• Board Chair & Board Director Assessment & Evaluation
• Director Selection & Board Composition
• Director Succession and Assimilation
• Board Advisory, Consulting & Development
• CEO & CXO Succession & Assimilation
• Board Chair Succession Planning
• Board Governance, Risk Management & Compliance
• Compensation
Few things can influence executive leadership like an engaged, productive, and insightful Board of Directors. Our team of expert consultants has deep expertise in amplifying boards by helping them identify their needs, align their resources, lead in the present, govern, and plan for the future. If you’re ready to maximize your board effectiveness, efficiency, and impact– then we should talk.
