Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Senior leadership for the venture-backed scale-ups, regulated firms and international groups run out of London, matched through a search and embedded in the business on a services agreement, for the share of time the work needs.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
Fractional leadership is an established way to run a London company; the question is who you get. One leader, chosen from a curated collective, joins the team. Around the engagement we keep the structure and the governance; inside it, the executive owns the decisions in their domain and the result.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader sits in the team, does the work and answers for the outcome. Where investors sit on the cap table, they also give the board one accountable person to ask.
The collective behind your leaderAcross finance, operations, technology and people, our collective of 800+ gives the executive experience to draw on. London buyers usually want someone who has already done the job one stage up, and that is who we search for.
The roles we match
A full C-suite, on the terms a growing business needs

Where we are brought in
A leader for the moment in front of you
Most engagements begin with a moment: a departure to cover, a raise to close, a market to enter, a business to turn around. Find the one that fits.

The London commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
You contract with the executive's own company, not with a new employee, and buy senior capability for the share of the week the work calls for. No salary joins the payroll and no recruitment fee is charged for the search. UK rules on senior hires are tightening, which makes a measured first step worth more. One month's notice is our standard.
Brief a search01
No permanent headcount
The engagement is a company-to-company contract. No salary on the payroll and no headcount to carry.
02
No benefits burden
No medical cover, no benefits administration, none of the overhead a permanent hire brings.
03
No recruitment cost
No recruitment fee. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.
04
One month's notice
Scale the engagement up or down, or step away, on one month. You keep the optionality.
05
Business to business
A company-to-company arrangement, invoiced cleanly. Senior leadership without the employment.
