Digital evolution

The digital evolution has disrupted the notion of ‘business as usual’ and continues to alter the role profiles of forward-thinking executive leadership teams.  As organisations become more customer-focused and data-centric, they need a different type of leader; someone who uses data differently to make critical business decisions; someone who leverages technology advancements to unlock new markets and adds greater customer value. This leader needs to be as experienced in driving digital growth as they are in driving change. Their technical know-how must be matched by leadership skills that re-energise, inspire and disrupt. We know these leaders.

We provide candidates who have the skillsets, aptitude and experience to lead clients into the future. Our finger is firmly on the pulse of new innovations and technologies shaping the digital, data & ecommerce landscapes and, in an extremely competitive talent market, we have been proactively building diverse talent networks across the public, private and third sectors.

Diversity In The Digital Age

With digital, data and ecommerce functions becoming increasingly customer-focused, senior leadership teams who reflect the diversity of the communities they serve have an increasing competitive advantage. Operating in the unique intersection of diversity, talent and brand, we work with our clients to help build their employee reputation to attract, acquire and retain the right talent, in line with their organisational aspirations.

Green Park act as a change agent promoting diverse and inclusive leadership in the digital age. We use our internal cross-sector expertise, as well as extensive external contact networks, to broaden our search, finding the skills and experience our clients require in places they may not expect. Having mapped the gender and ethnocultural diversity of the leadership pipeline of the UK’s biggest organisations for over a decade, we are able to recognise talent gaps and home in on sectors that offer greater candidate choice. By providing our clients with a diversity of gender, ethnicity and ideology, it ensures that they will never stagnate and always innovate.

Commitment And Diligence

At Green Park, we have an extensive track record placing top talent in the digital, data & ecommerce space amid high demand. We use data-driven analytics and digital, cognitive tools to better source and assess candidates. We also strive to understand each client’s culture and values, so that we place candidates in organisational environments where they will thrive and our client’s can benefit from their unique perspectives.  Our commitment and diligence has allowed us to successfully implement sustainable talent solutions where we pride ourselves on our ‘right first time’ results.

Our team is drawn from diverse backgrounds and brings a range of business skills that they apply in an advisory role throughout the executive search process. Our clients trust our consultative, data-led approach and respect our consultant’s market expertise when they challenge constricting briefs to provide more inclusive candidate shortlists.

Testimonials

"My experience with Green Park can be summed up in three words; advocacy, integrity, transparency. In working with Jo Sweetland and her team, it was clear from the start that they went well beyond the skills needed for the role. Their exceptional support and thoughtful, intentional guidance throughout the journey, from initial interest to formal offer, set them apart."

Justin Ostrander

Director of Finance, USA at ISP

"Working with Paul Bullock starts off with a heavy interview, where he basically gains as much insight into your business as possible so he not only selects the correct group of people to interview, but also sells your business to make sure all parties understand the opportunities. Every time I work with Paul he has delivered." 

Jalil Rahman

Chief Commercial Officer, Orla Kiely

“Jo Sweetland and her team at Green Park were fantastic during the search and interview process. They provided excellent communication with deep attentiveness and walked me through the process providing keen insights along the way. I felt very supported to ensure a smooth, seamless and professional experience with Jo.” 

Zenia Minwalla

Regional Head of Property @International Schools Partnerships Ltd, USA

From start to finish, Juliet Hardingham and the Executive Search Team at Green Park were exceptional. Juliet took the time to understand the role and our organisation, delivering a strong, diverse shortlist for our Head of Government Relations and External Affairs. Her professionalism, insights, and clear communication confirmed we had chosen the right partner.

James Greenhill

Head of Global Executive Resourcing @Jacobs

David Sayers and the Private & Commercials team have for sure, been one of the best recruiting teams to work with throughout this process. The interviews were scheduled in quick succession, and I was kept in the loop throughout the hiring process. The feedback loop was smooth, and I never felt any hiccups in the process, despite there being an 8-hour time zone difference. Thank you for your support!

Uma Deepak

Senior Finance Business Partner @International Schools Partnership

We worked with Green Park to swiftly hire an interim Head of Operations. Simon Pickerell from the Executive Interim team was outstanding - he quickly understood our needs, delivered a strong and diverse shortlist over the festive period, and supported both us and the candidates throughout. Thanks to Simon, we’ve hired an experienced Head of Operations who’s a great cultural fit. Highly recommend Simon and Green Park.
