Non-Profit Organisations
Helping NPOs find great leaders in Africa
Executive search
We source at Board, C-Suite, Executive and senior management levels, across a wide range of functions. Most of the time, we’re helping you fill your toughest roles: Leaders (ex-pats & local nationals, in- country or abroad) for NPOs in Africa.
Market mapping
With market maps, we help you make some of your best and most informed decisions. Market Mapping (also called ‘Talent Mapping’) provides assurance on important business (and people) decisions, by giving you data and insights.
Leadership coaching
To enhance the likelihood of an effective and successful transition for new leadership appointments, we highly recommend including a leadership coaching process for the first 6 – 9 months.
