By stageWhere you are
Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Senior leadership for the Irish scale-ups, family firms and EMEA subsidiaries of Dublin. Matched through a search, embedded in the business on a contract for services, for the share of the week the work needs.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
Hire one leader and the collective is there behind them for a second opinion. We keep the structure and governance around the engagement; the executive holds the decisions in their domain and owns the result, which is what an adviser never does.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader works inside the team and is measured on outcomes. In a subsidiary, they are also the person who can tell head office what Dublin can and cannot deliver, and say it in the room.
A collective behind the Dublin seatEach engagement in Dublin has our collective of 800+ vetted executives behind it. Irish companies often need two skills in one person: someone who can run the Dublin team and report in the language of a US parent. That combination is scarce, so the search matters.
The roles we match
A full C-suite, on the terms a growing business needs
We focus on the leadership functions that move a company forward. Start with one, or draw on the whole collective.
Proven leadership
Our executives have led at the companies you know
Where we are brought in
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.

For investorsBehind the capital
The Dublin commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
You engage us company to company, on a contract for services, and board-level capability arrives for the weeks the work needs it. A permanent senior hire in Ireland is a long commitment and slow to reverse; ours runs 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.
02
No benefits burden
No medical cover, no benefits administration, none of the overhead a permanent hire brings.
03
No recruitment cost
No search fees and no onboarding lag. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.
04
One month's notice
Scale the engagement up or down, or step away, on one month. You keep the optionality.
05
Business to business
A company-to-company arrangement, invoiced cleanly. Senior leadership without the employment.
