Unlocking Leadership Potential. Powering Organisational Growth.

We place CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, Chief Data Officers and Chief Transformation Officers in mid-market and high-growth companies. Our clients are private equity funds, family offices, and founder-led businesses that need leaders who can drive operational modernisation, execute digital transformation, and deliver measurable value creation.

​

The problem we solve:

​

40% of new executives fail within 18 months, costing organisations up to 10x the executive's salary in recruitment fees and lost opportunity. The failure point isn't the search, it's what happens after the hire. We've built a model that addresses both: rigorous executive search combined with leadership assessment and executive coaching structured around the first 180 days. This isn't an add-on; it's embedded in every engagement.

​

Who we work with:

​

Our clients typically come to us when leadership hiring has strategic consequences:

​

Private equity firms placing executives across portfolio companies - a new CEO to professionalise operations ahead of exit, a CFO to prepare for scale, a CTO to modernise infrastructure that's become a value-creation constraint.

​

Family offices backing founder-led businesses through transition - adding commercial or operational leadership for the first time, or upgrading the team when growth has outpaced capability.

​

Mid-market boards navigating transformation - when strategy is clear but execution is stalling, and everyone knows the leadership team needs upgrading but can't afford a failed placement.

​

How we work:

​

We operate as a lean, experienced practice with decades of executive search experience in the Australian market. We know where the talent is, how to assess it properly, and how to help executives succeed once they're in role.

​

Every engagement includes:

​

• Executive search and rigorous assessment

• Evidence-based leadership evaluation

• Six months of integration coaching structured around the first 90 and 180-day milestones

We price engagements as a fixed fee rather than a percentage of compensation. This creates better incentives - we're optimising for the right hire and successful integration, not the highest salary. For clients making multiple appointments across a portfolio or building out leadership teams, the economics are straightforward: you get the quality of work you'd expect from a top-tier firm, with integration support included, at roughly half the total investment.

​

Our belief:

​

Companies that will outperform from 2026 onward have leadership teams who can orchestrate AI adoption, adapt to market shifts without losing momentum, and execute consistently under pressure. Finding those leaders is half the work. Integrating them successfully is the other half. We exist to do both.
