CEO succession and search — for incoming leaders who must deliver from day one, in contexts of complexity, transformation or growth.

Chief Executive Officer

The Chief Executive Officer appointment is the most consequential decision a board makes. The executive who leads the organisation sets its strategic direction, defines its culture and is ultimately accountable for everything that follows. Getting this appointment right — with genuine rigour, full market perspective and honest assessment — is not optional. It is the governance responsibility that defines all others.

JOlivier & Partners leads CEO searches across European markets with the discipline and discretion that the mandate demands. Every CEO search we conduct is owned personally by a senior principal from the first conversation to the final appointment.

Finding Leaders for Critical CEO Roles

CEO search requires a different approach from most other executive appointments. The universe of credible candidates is smaller, more carefully considered and less accessible through conventional channels. The most consequential hires are rarely the most visible.

Every mandate is led personally by a principal of the firm. We do not delegate to junior associates.
