Board & CEO Advisory

 

Every leadership decision — a board appointment, CEO succession or plan to transform C-suite performance — has the potential to be the critical moment of difference for you, your team and your organization. At Spencer Stuart, we treat each one with equal passion and measure ourselves against only one metric: the one that matters most for you.

For nearly 70 years, we’ve supported boards and CEOs in their defining moments ― career success, business transformation, industry disruption ― and across different contexts, including public and privately held companies, founder-led businesses and restructurings. This experience gives us a unique combination of expertise: access to the best leaders, deep pattern recognition to help you navigate high-stakes decisions and rigorous research-based insights that enable us to uncover and accelerate leadership potential.

We drive enduring value for individuals and organizations. Our board advisory work encompasses CEO search, CEO succession planning, CEO transition support, board search and a full suite of advisory services designed to strengthen governance, board effectiveness and executive and team performance.
