ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s dedicated Social Impact practice focuses on identifying and developing visionary, diverse leaders who prioritise social purpose. Working with charities, civil society organisations, and purpose-driven businesses, our expertise spans executive search and board advisory services to drive meaningful societal, economic, and environmental change through collaborative, innovative leadership.

Putting purpose front and centre

Demand for visionary, purpose-driven leadership in the evolving social impact sector is at an all-time high. Charities, civil society, and progressive businesses must authentically integrate social purpose to demonstrate their impact, while public and philanthropic initiatives adapt to support these efforts. Collaboration, shared learning, and innovative leadership are key to addressing today’s social, environmental, and economic challenges.

Our approach

Championing diversity, equity and inclusion

Our experience

Navigating the intersection to find the right leaders

We specialise in fostering inclusion, with a strong, evidence-backed record of diversifying boards and senior teams. With decades of experience, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ connects leaders across civil society, private, and public sectors. We collaborate with a diverse array of organisations, including charities, foundations, social enterprises, purpose-driven businesses, and advisory bodies, whether large or small, local or international. Our work strengthens thought leadership and supports organisations striving to maximise their social impact.

Our Clients

Bringing forward passionate and diverse Board Leaders

Senior board appointments require a highly targeted, personalised search to identify appropriately qualified senior leaders, and it is essential that each of them is then approached by an articulate and well-informed advisor. Through our dedicated board practice, we appoint over 250 chair and non-executive roles every year: our networks give us extensive reach across sectors, and deep insights into the challenges – and opportunities – faced by boards today.

Our Board practice

Developing high-performing boards

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ has the expertise and experience to provide chairs with the comprehensive insight they need to run an effective board, having led governance reviews at both executive and non-executive level. Our review process is designed to be relatively light-touch, allowing boards to comply fully with governance recommended practice and providing data and practical recommendations that can be used to improve board/team effectiveness, maximise strengths, and tackle weaknesses. Our view is structured around a tried and tested model, but can be adapted to specific organisational needs.
