Executive search
Research-led, discreet search for VP and C-level leaders. Average time to signed offer: 74 days.
The approach
A search, not a database query
Most of the leaders you want are not looking. Our research team builds a market map of 120–200 people, and Maya’s partners approach each one personally.
You receive a weekly progress report, a long-list review in week three and a shortlist of four to six leaders with full referencing.
