Our Services
Originally founded in 1988, we are a highly accomplished specialist retained search firm, focused exclusively on Governance, Regulatory and Controls functions across financial services. We enable our clients to manage risk, meet their regulatory obligations, and grow responsibly, by connecting them with first-class leaders in Risk, Compliance, Financial Crime, Internal Audit and at Board-level.
- Executive Search: Through methodical, creative and context-rich search processes, we introduce clients to the world’s best senior and emerging leaders across a complementary set of functions that are now mission-critical to the successful functioning of modern financial institutions.
- Board-level Search: Our longstanding relationships and ability to ask the right questions, based on industry expertise and intuition, give us access to some of the most senior and experienced INEDs in the industry, to chair our clients’ Audit, Risk and Strategy Committees.
- Talent Mapping & Succession Planning: We support direct leadership hiring across our specialist disciplines, by internal talent teams, by providing uniquely well-informed and targeted research spanning people, companies, sectors and trends.
A focus on the importance of inclusion and diversity to our industry underpins every aspect of our work. We are immersed in the evolving debate and embed related knowledge and findings into all our search and research projects.

Connection, Inclusion and Collaboration.
We regularly host specialist roundtable events, bringing together a wide range of senior regulatory, risk and governance professionals from across our network.
