XI EXECUTIVE
Board & Leadership

We identify CEOs, Managing Directors, Board and Non-Executive leaders with the experience and judgement to navigate complex stakeholder environments and lead organisations through their next stage of development.

Financial leadership plays a critical role in turning sporting ambition into sustainable growth. We identify CFOs, Finance Directors and senior investment and strategy leaders who bring commercial judgement, financial discipline and the ability to navigate risk, investment, growth and the increasingly complex economics of sport.

Sporting & Technical
A clear sporting strategy requires exceptional technical leadership. We identify Sporting Directors, Technical Directors, Heads of Recruitment and Academy leaders whose experience and philosophy align with the organisation's structure, culture and long-term performance ambitions.

Commercial leadership is increasingly central to the growth and sustainability of sport. We identify Commercial Directors and senior leaders across partnerships, sponsorship, marketing, revenue and growth who can build stronger brands, deepen audience relationships and create sustainable commercial value.

Performance & Operations
High-performing sports organisations depend on the people, environments and infrastructure behind them. We identify senior leaders across performance, operations and organisational delivery who can translate strategy into effective execution and create environments in which people and performance can thrive.
