Independent advice on people

About us

What we do

Our purpose is to build outstanding leadership teams for our clients.

MWM is the leading boutique search firm in Europe. We guide boards and executive teams through their most critical people choices, helping them to anticipate change and prepare for growth and transformation.

We provide executive and non-executive search services as well as board advice to the world’s largest corporations, ambitious small and medium-sized businesses, leading private equity firms, entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses.

We have acted for over 50 of the FTSE 100 as well as 45 of the Fortune Global 500 companies and have placed 10% of the current FTSE 100 Chairs and CEOs. A third of our work is engaged in private markets.

We are ambitious for our clients, helping Chairs, CEOs and CHROs build high performing teams and plan long term succession.

‘I really value MWM because they combine the rigour and quality of a large executive search firm, with the entrepreneurial drive of a boutique.’

Our APPROACH

We combine the quality, structure and processes of a large firm with the flexibility, creativity and relationship focus of a boutique.

We are the only independent, specialist board advisory and executive search firm that operates globally. Our judgement is underpinned by our global access, network and experience enabling us to structure teams to best suit the requirements of our clients.

On every assignment, we bring the collective wisdom of the firm to bear. Working out of London, we have one of the most experienced and internationally-minded teams in the industry.

We think creatively and broadly around a brief ensuring diversity of thought, as well as skill-set or geography, to help organisations stay competitive.
