NED Executive Search & Headhunting Specialists

Let our team search, identify, and recruit top NED talent for your organisation.


Importance of The NED Role

As today’s business environment continues to shift rapidly, the role of the Non-Executive Director (NED) is one of the most valuable resources available to senior management and one which must continually evolve.

Navigating companies through various challenges such as increased regulation and the quickening pace of globalisation, NEDs bring valuable insights and independent perspectives to the Board in order to capitalise on new business opportunities and effectively mitigate risks.

The oversight and advice NEDs offer to the Board ensure that the company’s strategy and operations are aligned with the best interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders. It is, therefore, necessary for Boards to attract the right combination of expertise and experience to drive optimal performance.

Our executive search experts have considerable experience in assisting many multinationals, FTSE businesses, and SMEs to appoint NEDs. Our expertise in this area extends to non-profit and public sector organisations and is particularly noteworthy for its record of appointing high-calibre women to Boards, frequently helping them to secure their first Non-Executive role.

At Novo, we are proud to have long-standing Board relationships with our clients, enabling us to deliver real insight and place assignments in the context of broader thinking around Board effectiveness and longer-term succession planning.

NED Skills Needed Include:

  • Strong leadership and decision-making abilities
  • Breadth and depth of industry experience
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to remain independent and act in the best interests of the company
  • Integrity and ethical standards
  • In-depth understanding of corporate governance

In addition to the skills and experience needed to add value to your business, our executive recruitment consultants can work with you to identify individuals who have the connections and drive that align with your company’s goals and objectives, positioning them to effectively steer your business forward.
