Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Senior leadership for the owner-run groups, listed mid-caps and regional headquarters of Gauteng, chosen by search and working inside the business for as much of the week as the work needs.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
Engage one leader and the collective stands behind them. We hold the structure and governance around the engagement. The executive decides within their own function and is answerable for how it turns out. That is what separates an operator from an adviser.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader works inside the team and is judged on results. In a business run by its founder or its founding family, they are also the one person who can say what the people closest to it cannot.
Depth behind the person you engageA collective of 800+ curated and vetted executives stands behind every engagement. Johannesburg companies often need one leader who can run operations on the ground and speak to a board or a parent elsewhere. That is a hard combination to find, which is why 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 Johannesburg commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
Company to company. Your business contracts with the executive's own company for board-level capability, for exactly as long as you need it. A permanent senior appointment in South Africa is slow and costly to unwind; this is a lighter first step, with one month's notice either way as our standard.
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 recruitment fee. 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.
