We will be your trusted, responsible, search partner

What makes us different?

We believe that executive search needs to change. Historically, executive search agencies and processes have often been seen as slow, expensive, and inflexible.

Internal executive functions can deliver strong capability which means that when there is a need to go external the partner must be a deep subject matter expert with strong knowledge and relationships in the area of specialism.

Trusted Provider

We pledge to partner with our clients. We will be the trusted provider who provides timely, accurate, intelligence to enable our customers to gauge the level, quality and availability of skills and experience in the external market place.

Skills & Values

We will work together with you to create a bespoke skills and values assessment process with milestones to suit the individual needs of each business

We use a focused interviewing platform to remove any prejudice and consciously put steps in place to define a process to continuously embed DEI.

Culture & Needs

Our ability to activate the right talent, based on your culture and needs, will always be a key differentiator of our service. We will go to market, passionately as your advocate, to activate the best talent available for any search

Community Focused

15+ years have been dedicated to building a network of leaders that drive sustainable change and success across global organisations.

We have the ability to campaign for talent via our content, marketing and events production teams to amplify your brand within specialist and diverse talent pools.

Experience & Expertise

You will be represented by highly experienced executive search domain experts who will consult with you throughout the process to deliver the best possible service.

Flexibility & Agility

We will provide flexibility and agility in our approach to deliver to your specific needs, whether that be end-to-end or augmenting parts of your search process as and when needed.

We are excited to offer a service that truly disrupts traditional executive search, whilst partnering with organisations going through a transformation.

What our clients say

“Annapurna Executive initially placed me at Zalando several years ago and we have remained in partnership ever since. I subsequently moved to Wayfair to head up the European division and continue to partner with Annapurna Executive following several successful searches at both businesses. This People Director role was a tricky search for us, and Annapurna Executive have delighted the SLT by helping to appoint a great candidate into this role.”
Director of Talent Acquisition @ Wayfair

“Annapurna delivered an excellent candidate longlist and shortlist for the role, having taken the time to meet to understand the brief and tailor the shortlist, as required. They provided advice on the best people in the market for the role and successfully managed to source a fantastic Head of Talent Acquisition. I would highly recommend working with Annapurna Executive for any search of this kind.”
Head of L&D @ ASOS

“I worked with the Annapurna Executive team in my role as the Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Zalando, which they also appointed me into. They delivered on a number of key roles for the People and Operations leadership team, and I would highly recommend them in terms of their market knowledge and skills to present high quality shortlists and appoint market leading talent.”
