Board Practice

Working together with the rest of the ejsSearch team we collaborate with our clients to search for C-level Executive appointments and Independent Non-Executive Directors. We also support Board effectiveness evaluations.

 

Executive Board Search

Board composition and effectiveness have become critical governance issues for every kind of organisation. New legislation, regulatory changes and governance codes have forced boards around the world to re-examine their membership with a view to appointing more independent non-executive directors and bringing more diverse skills into the boardroom.

 

We provide board counsel and search services in partnership with clients from across the re/insurance and broader financial services arenas. Our goal is to help clients strengthen their board structure and improve governance.

 

Non-Executive Director Search

NED appointments have had a reputation for operating on a ‘black book’ basis, more than other high-level appointments. With an increased focus on corporate governance and new regulations from the FSA/ Bank of England, we are increasingly being used to identify, select and attract candidates for non-executive roles who will not only fulfil the regulatory functions but add value to our clients’ business.

 

Succession Planning

Planned or unplanned, the changeover between CEOs is a critical time in any business. The ejs process is designed to ensure the stability and effective performance of an organization, large or small, making provisions to avoid ‘key person dependency’. We work towards the retention and development of key executives within the firm, or when appropriate, their replacement, together creating a strategic plan for the future of the company. We have a strong track record of working on CEO, CFO, and CUO assignments.

 

Executive Management Team Review

Top management and individual assessment. Structured process designed to help top executives assess the quality and suitability of the management team and/or individual executives, in order to provide insight into their performance level, capabilities and development needs.
