When the next move matters
When the decision has to hold beyond the hire
Through retained executive search and CEO & Board Advisory, we support CEOs, boards and owners during succession, C-level appointments, transformation and ownership change.
In these moments, timing, trust and alignment matter as much as the hire itself.
Where we are typically brought in:
-
CEO succession and replacement
-
Board and C-level appointments
-
Leadership change during growth or transformation
-
Ownership change, M&A and post-deal realignment
Our work is often confidential.
Its consequences are not.

What usually decides the mandate is not written in the job description
In retained executive search, capability is only part of the decision. Context, timing and alignment usually decide whether a CEO, Board or C-level appointment will hold.
Most senior searches start before the role is public
A good candidate cannot fix unclear ownership
The shortlist is not the hard part
By the time the market sees a title, the real decision has often already started inside the business.
If the mandate is not aligned, even a strong appointment will enter the business with risk already built in.
The hard part is understanding what kind of leader the situation can actually absorb.
Before the conversation
Frequently asked questions
A few practical points on how we work and when we are typically involved.
What is the difference between Executive Search and CEO & Board Advisory?
Executive Search focuses on finding and securing the right leader. CEO & Board Advisory supports the decision context around succession, replacement, ownership change or leadership alignment — before the mandate goes to market or when the stakes are already high.
When should a company involve Menity?
Usually when a CEO, board or C-level appointment carries strategic, operational or reputational consequences — and the decision has to hold under pressure.
Is Menity a retained executive search firm?
Yes. Menity works on retained senior mandates where direct partner involvement, confidentiality and judgement matter.
