The brief

A founder-led direct-to-consumer brand needed a chief executive for its next chapter. We mapped 1,060 leaders and delivered a shortlist in seven weeks, balancing operational depth with respect for the brand’s culture.

How we ran it

We mapped 1,060 leaders, approached 164, and held substantive conversations with 41. 12 candidates were interviewed against the brief. The shortlist of 5 was delivered in week 7.

A clear process, candid advice, and a shortlist we could make a decision on.
