Changing the face of leadership
Green Park has an unrivalled track record in recruiting non-executives of every kind.
Around half of our assignments each year are non-executive roles, and we have worked with many of the largest organisations and best-known brands in the UK to help them build boards that are skilled, effective and diverse boards that are more than the sum of their parts.
Our work brings together deep expertise and long-standing relationships to appoint senior leaders with Chair experience and relevant professional skills. Many of those who have built their careers in the commercial sector value the opportunity to contribute what they have learned.
The areas most often sought are finance, investment, digital, cyber, government connectivity, and audit and risk.
Every organisation is different, however, and the skills a board needs will vary. At the heart of board work are the abilities to bring both challenge and support, to act as a critical friend, to scan the horizon, to set strategy, to uphold culture, and to hold an organisation to account against its core purpose.
Many of the leaders we work with build portfolios spanning several sectors, using their skills and stretching their capacity in stimulating and rewarding ways. Those who have built their careers in the commercial world often value the opportunity to contribute what they have learned in a different context.
In the non-profit sector, the majority of roles are unremunerated, though some are not, and these appointments frequently call for more than professional expertise: a genuine passion for a cause or an organisation, personal experience that connects to its purpose, and a breadth of experience across different scales and contexts that deepens the contribution a person can make.
