Leadership Hires That Can’t Afford to Go Wrong

We work with PE and VC-backed scale-ups, global consultancies, mid-market tech firms, and transformation-driven enterprises that need to get leadership right, not just quickly. Boards and C-Suite hires that carry real consequence require real relationships, not a database search.

Our specialist areas include AI and Machine Learning leadership, Cybersecurity and CISO-level search, Chief Data and Analytics Officers, and CTO search across UK, Europe, and the US. We also work across PE-backed portfolio companies requiring rapid but considered senior appointments.

​

How We Work

We operate on a container/retingency model. There is an upfront engagement fee to secure our commitment, followed by an agreed placement fee on completion. This model allows us to dedicate real resource to your search while keeping our incentives firmly aligned with finding the right person, not just the fastest one.

​

Who We’re Right For

You’re a fit for ConsultantBox if you’re a PE or VC-backed business needing a trusted search partner who understands investor timelines, a scale-up that has outgrown generalist recruiters and needs genuine C-Suite expertise, a global firm looking for a boutique partner with international reach and without the overhead of a large agency, or a business navigating transformation who needs a CAIO, CDO, CISO, or CTO who has genuinely done it before.

​

What You Get

Direct access to Simon, Vips and Kim Kirrage throughout the search, not handed to a junior consultant once the contract is signed. We back every retained search with a 90-day replacement guarantee, because we stand behind every placement we make. And because we’ve been doing this for 28 years, our network is real, not rented.
