Executives in Africa is an award-winning consultancy making a positive and lasting impact, exclusively on the African continent.  Specialising in executive, senior management, and non-executive board appointments, our multilingual team has managed 1,000 assignments across 50+ markets since 2010. Our proven 8-step search methodology is designed to access and assess top talent, with additional assessment services available to ensure fit. We support clients throughout every stage of the hiring process, from identifying candidates to final appointment decisions.

Our UK and Africa-based teams combine 250 + years of experience. Thanks to our deep knowledge of local markets and an extensive global network of 140,000+ people, we offer unparalleled capability in sourcing high-calibre C-suite and other senior executives. Our placements include local talent, members of the African Diaspora, and expatriates, as required. Notably, 79% of our placements are African nationals, and 30% are women.

As demand for strong leadership in Africa grows, we remain committed to excellence and service. With 91% of our appointments staying beyond the first year and 86% of shortlists delivered within four weeks, we pride ourselves on both reliability and results. 

It is also important to us that our relationship with and commitment to clients does not stop once an assignment ends. We also offer free manager and leader training to assist the transition into new roles and provide upskilling opportunities.
