01 | Background

Robert specialises in board and senior executive search, focusing on appointments where the individual is expected to contribute at governance, strategic or enterprise leadership level.

For board assignments, he considers sector knowledge, financial expertise, international experience, regulatory understanding, transformation experience, operational leadership and perspectives currently missing from the boardroom.

His executive-search work applies the same discipline. A candidate is assessed against the organisation's actual requirements rather than the prestige of a previous position.
