Our partners
The responsibilities of today’s finance leader have changed dramatically. Already navigating increased regulation, digital transformation, unstable geopolitical climates and turbulent local & global economies, the financial pressures brought by the pandemic have added a further level of complexity to an ever-evolving remit.
The modern Chief Financial Officer must be able to navigate complex markets with multiple disciplinary challenges, while also inspiring confidence as an organisational leader and company figure head. Today, financial leadership is not about just cutting costs or compliancy; it’s far more complex and interesting. They must be both strategic-minded and hands-on, while demonstrating the agility, foresight, and innovation to manage an organisation through change and disruption.
At Green Park, our expert consultants help organisations overcome challenges and unlock their competitive advantage through high-performing and transformative executive leadership talent. Our unique recruitment and consultative capabilities span the intersecting fields of talent, diversity, and brand reputation. This perfectly positions us a talent partner for organisations wishing to grow and protect investment through highly skilled financial leaders and greater environmental & social governance.
We have been proactively mapping and championing diverse leadership talent since our inception fifteen years ago. For us, inclusion is institutional, not an add on.
Through our annual Business Leaders Index, first published in 2014, we have tracked the ethnocultural and gender diversity of Chief Financial Officers and senior finance leaders across the FTSE 100, now extending to the FTSE 250. This gives us the industry’s most robust data map of where to find diverse leadership talent, and it shows in the composition of our executive search shortlists.
We pride ourselves on our extensive networks across the finance community and are always searching for new and emerging talent to provide our clients with a fresh outlook. This commitment is underpinned by our inclusive processes and carefully considered briefs, which enable us to attract and engage a broader pool of talent. Our track record of delivering diverse candidate shortlists makes it easier for clients to ensure the composition of their finance and control teams are more representative of their workforce.
Our CFO team have delivered mandates to a global client base including FTSE AIM companies as well as privately owned businesses, private equity funded start-ups and established acquisitions. Coming from a finance background they have lived experience of the pressures facing modern finance leaders, where strategic and operational responsibilities necessitate highly dynamic skill sets.
Our ability to combine discipline and sector expertise sets us apart. We believe firmly in the principle of “best team in the room”. This means our clients gain access to the insights and experience of specialist consultants relevant to both their role and industry. They also benefit from the expertise of our Diversity, Inclusion, Culture & Ethics Consultancy, who can identify gaps in inclusivity and offering change-driven solutions for the trickiest of assignments.
In addition to our team expertise, our clients gain comfort through our delivery capabilities that involve working closely with organisations in long-term relationships anchored by trust in our data-led approach.
