It Is Not All About
Who You Know,
After All
Board appointments are still made largely through personal networks, which is exactly why so many boards end up looking like the people already in the room. We offer the data-powered alternative: the same proprietary search algorithms behind our executive search practice, used to map the full market of potential board members, narrowed with you rather than for you, and opened through a warm introduction we make on your behalf.

It begins with an exploratory call to understand and define the board member you actually need. From there, the same proprietary algorithms we use for executive search build a map of potential candidates across the market, efficiently and without leaning on anyone’s address book.
With your feedback we narrow that map down to a shortlist of the people you would genuinely like to connect with. Nothing advances on our judgement alone, and the brief can keep moving as your thinking develops.
We reach out and act as your intermediary, which we have consistently found produces better results than a direct approach at the introductory stage. Once the conversation is open we step back so you can navigate the relationship with your own expertise, supporting you as much or as little as you want.
From an Exploratory Call to an Open Conversation
Every board search runs through the same five stages, and you decide how far each one goes before the next begins.
