Board diversity is another area that continues to influence executive search. Chairs and NEDs are expected to bring increasingly broad skill sets to their roles, with experience extending to areas like risk, technology and innovation. To support high-performing boards, businesses in all industries are also calling out for greater board representation across age, gender, nationality, industry experience and cultural background.

Senior appointments can be a major strategic investment, with successful chair and NED candidates bringing considerable value and contributing to the success of many of our clients.
Growth in the appointment of chairs and non-executive directors (NEDs) in recent years has largely been driven by the demand for independent perspective and guidance on boards. This demand has been met by a surge in the need for high quality executive search services to source the talent to fill these roles.
