Services
Leadership decisions are rarely just about filling a role.
Richard brings an advisor's perspective to the moments that can shape an organization's future—from finding the right executive to preparing for a CEO transition, understanding how a leadership team works together, or helping an individual think through what's next in their career.
His approach is grounded in decades of executive search experience and a focus on understanding the people, priorities, and circumstances behind each decision.
Executive & Team Assessment
Leadership assessments can provide an objective view of individual leaders and leadership teams—their strengths, potential, working dynamics, and areas that may need attention.
Richard uses assessment as a tool for making better-informed decisions around leadership, development, team effectiveness, and organizational change.
CEO Succession & Readiness
Preparing for one of an organization's most important leadership decisions.
CEO succession shouldn't begin when a transition is already underway. Richard helps boards and organizations think ahead—clarifying what the organization will need from its next leader, assessing internal and external possibilities, and creating a thoughtful path toward transition.
Executive Career Coaching
Helping experienced leaders think clearly about what comes next.
Career decisions at the executive level rarely fit neatly into a job search. Richard works with leaders to step back, assess their goals and options, and think strategically about the next chapter of their career.
Connect With Richard
An executive search may reveal the need for a broader assessment. A CEO transition may raise questions about the leadership team around the incoming CEO. And sometimes the most important leadership decision is simply taking a step back and thinking carefully about what's next.
Richard's advisory work can be tailored to the situation—whether you're addressing a specific leadership need or thinking more broadly about the future of your organization.
