Recruiting a director is a rare opportunity to introduce fresh skills and experience to the organization.
Recent legislation has led to an increase in demand for independent directors, lead directors and non-executive chairmen. Many boards are grasping the opportunity to reorganize.
Although compliance is important and legislative requirements must be adhered to, successful director recruiting requires an understanding of the specific needs of the board and an insight into the unique nature of a company — its people, its products and its strategy.
Our director recruitment approach begins with a systematic assessment of needs, comparing the company’s strategic plan with an up-to-date profile of the skills and experience of the current board.
We are careful to look for directors who can operate effectively in a group, provide synergy for the rest of the team, and keep in mind the broader interests of the company and its shareholders.
Whether a board is in need of a financial expert to head an audit committee, is facing particular strategic challenges or is seeking directors from diverse backgrounds, our consultants are well equipped to meet the challenge.
We have unmatched access to potential directors and possess detailed information on their careers, availability, interests and conflicts. Our personal relationships with directors are complemented by a powerful database containing information on prospective candidates, updated on a daily basis.
As part of a truly global firm, our Board Services Practice spans all major markets worldwide. We are well positioned to meet the escalating demand for international directors.
