Compass Carter Osborne support impactful Chair appointments by combining our extensive networks and de novo research with deep understanding of the sector specific demands of the role.
The team has advised clients across a broad range of scenarios in order to identify the strongest shortlists of appropriate executive, and non-executive Chair candidates. Executive Chairs can bring immediate impact in a hands-on leadership role during periods of change and restructuring, and Non-Executive Chairs are often introduced to ensure stakeholder representation, and robust governance adherence.
