Recruiting, supporting and assessing the teams that lead the energy sector.
Three areas of expertise, delivered by the same partners, across the eight sectors we have followed for ten years.
Executive and senior management search
We approach people in post directly, including those who are not looking to move. The mandate is exclusive and led by a partner, from scoping the role through to the executive’s arrival.
Roles
- Chair, Chief Executive Officer
- Chief Financial Officer
- Chief Operating Officer
- Business Development Director
- Site or plant director
- Project director
- Technical and engineering director
Process
- 01
Scoping. The role, the context and the decision criteria, agreed with you.
- 02
Mapping. Identifying the relevant profiles in the market.
- 03
Outreach. Direct, confidential contact, in-depth interviews and assessment of every executive we meet.
- 04
Decision. Interviews, negotiation, then onboarding follow-up.
Executive support
An executive appointed in a sector they know little about, a leadership team reshaped after an acquisition: we support these moments with advisers who know the energy business.
Taking up a role
The arrival of a newly appointed executive: relations with the shareholder, transformation and growth strategy.
One-to-one support
An executive in post facing a change of scope, a fundraising or a crisis.
Leadership team
A reshaped management committee that needs to set its ways of working and how it makes decisions.
The content of sessions remains strictly confidential. Only the objectives and the schedule may be shared.
Leadership team performance
Before investing, appointing a successor or reorganising: an outside view of the executives and senior managers in place.
Situations
- Acquisition
Assessment of the target’s leadership team, supporting the due diligence of a fund or an industrial buyer.
- Succession
Internal candidates benchmarked against external profiles before an executive appointment.
- Performance
Fit between senior management, the new strategy and the targets to be met.
What you receive
- 01
A structured interview with each executive assessed, supplemented by references taken in the market.
- 02
An individual report: strengths, points of attention, fit with the target role.
- 03
A benchmark against equivalent profiles in the sector.
- 04
An oral debrief to the shareholder or the executive committee, then to each executive if they wish.
