Executive search for a family-owned group's succession
A generational leadership transition required a discreet, precise executive search for a new group CEO and two C-suite roles.
The Challenge
The founding family needed to professionalise leadership while preserving the values and relationships built over three decades — a search demanding absolute confidentiality and cultural nuance.
Our Approach
We ran a mapped, off-market headhunting process across regional and diaspora talent, pairing rigorous competency assessment with deep cultural-fit evaluation and structured stakeholder alignment throughout.
The Outcome
All three roles were filled with leaders who integrated seamlessly. Two years on, every placement remains in seat, and the group has posted its strongest governance and performance metrics to date.
