Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Around Lake Geneva a permanent executive is one of the most expensive lines a business can add, and specialist functions rarely need five days a week of one. We run executive search fractionally, so seniority is bought by the share of time rather than by the year.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
Bring in one leader and the collective is within reach for a second opinion. We keep structure and governance around the engagement, so it holds when the people involved are busy and the matters are private. The executive decides in their field and answers for it, which is what an adviser never does.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader works in the team, not above it, and is measured by what the business gains. In a house where the founders are also the traders, or the partners are also the portfolio managers, they can put a second opinion on the table without it becoming a contest.
The collective behind each Geneva mandateOur collective of 800+ sits behind every Geneva mandate, spanning finance, operations, technology and people. That matters most where the role needs someone who can work in French and also read a trade finance facility or a manager's licence conditions.

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.

By momentWhat you are facing
For investorsBehind the capital
The Geneva commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
You engage us company to company, and board-level capability comes in proportion to the work, which counts in a market where a permanent appointment is the costliest line in the budget. Our mandates run on our standard one month's notice.
Brief a search01
No permanent headcount
The engagement is a company-to-company contract. No salary on the payroll and no headcount to carry.

No recruitment cost
No search fees and no onboarding lag. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.
