Consulting & Advisory

The consulting sector lies at the heart of Leadenhall Search’s coverage and offering. It is, after all, the sector our firm was founded on and remains our core specialism, where we combine deep market expertise with a strong international network to support our clients’ growth.

Across strategy, value creation, operational advisory, transformation, optimisation, supply chain & procurement, digital & data, financial and geopolitical advisory, we help professional services businesses access the best talent quickly and effectively.

Our Strategy Consulting team delivers mandates across commercial due diligence, value creation, go-to-market strategy, market entry, market access, pricing, and product planning & launch, among others. Our work is truly international, with placements completed across the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, LATAM, MENA and Saudi Arabia.

Our Transformation & Change team covers roles across operating model design, digital transformation, process improvement, and organisational change. We collaborate closely with our Strategy and Data & Technology teams to ensure clients have access to the most appropriate expertise and resources. We have also successfully supported the build-out of specialist teams focused on procurement, strategic sourcing, and supply chain transformation.

We focus on critical senior mandates within the Executive Advisory and Board Governance market, with a strong track record across the US and Europe. Our work includes specialised mandates in geopolitical advisory and strategic communications, where we often deliver niche subject-matter expert hires that others struggle to reach.

With the growing importance of data and technology in advisory services, our team supports clients in securing highly sought-after technical talent. We have delivered mandates across enterprise business platforms, data analytics, AI strategy, data architecture & engineering, data science, and emerging technology functions. We also support clients in building cyber security capabilities across strategy, risk, and technical domains.

Over the years, we have supported numerous clients in scaling their businesses, in some cases by as much as 500%, and establishing new offices across North America and internationally.

Please review our Case Studies & Testimonials in the Client page to learn more about the office build-outs and growth journeys we have supported.

Our established team takes a consultative approach to every partnership, whether we are supporting a Consultant-level hire or a Partner appointment.

Consulting recruitment is at the core of what we do. Every team member actively develops both candidate and client networks on a daily basis, covering both active and passive talent.

We work with professional services firms worldwide, with a particular focus on boutique, mid-tier, and specialist consultancies undergoing growth, development, and transformation.
