Chair

Looking for your next Chair role?

Whether you’re looking to secure your first, or next Chair role, the team are on hand to guide you every step of the way. 

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.  

Understanding the strategic priorities which an incoming Chair will face is where CCO can add real value. The Chair – CEO relationship is of great significant, so we seek investor views and input from the wider Board on the specific style the incumbent will need to lean towards; a coaching and mentoring style; or a more rigorous performance management and reporting relationship.
