At Leathwaite, we specialize in placing enterprise leaders who think business first, function second—leaders who don’t just manage their domain but actively push forward progressive functional agendas. While our searches align with business areas, what truly defines our work is the leadership expectations—navigating transformation, accelerating change, and operating at pace.

With deep market insight, a broad industry perspective, and a commitment to excellence, we don’t just fill roles—we build leadership teams that shape the future.
From finding your future leaders and sourcing executive talent to equipping you with boardroom insights that give you an edge, we are committed to helping you create meaningful change. This is underpinned by our culture of distinctiveness, humility and collaboration; local experts with a global outlook to support your long-term growth.
