Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Scale-ups, family companies and the European headquarters of international groups run from Amsterdam can bring in senior leadership by search, working inside the business under a services agreement between two companies for only as long as the work lasts.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
Appoint one leader and the wider collective is there for second opinions on anything new to them. We keep the structure and oversight around the engagement; your executive makes the calls in their own function and owns what follows. An adviser recommends; your leader decides.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader becomes part of the team and does the job, and is judged by what the business gains rather than by documents delivered. In a flat Dutch organisation, where decisions are talked through and sometimes talked past, they are also the person who closes the loop.
The collective behind your leaderIn Amsterdam the engagement has our collective of 800+ behind it, covering finance, operations, technology and people. That matters most when a European business runs from a small Dutch team and needs depth you cannot hire.
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.

The Amsterdam commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
You engage us company to company, and board-level capability arrives for the days the work actually needs. Unwinding a permanent senior hire in Amsterdam that has not worked out takes time and money; a fractional engagement runs on our standard one month's notice.
Brief a search01

No recruitment fee. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.
