This Sunday, 7th September, we’ll see a total lunar eclipse, promising a spectacular "Blood Moon.” Coincidence? We think not!

What qualities will define exceptional leadership in 25 years? As we celebrate Moon’s 25th anniversary, our Founding Director, Vanessa Moon, is already looking ahead, anticipating how the definition of a 'great leader' will transform over the next quarter-century.

In 25 years of Moon Executive Search, we've witnessed transformations in how leaders conduct operations, recruit top talent and fuel success. From the rise of remote work and the accelerating pace of technological advancements (including AI) to a growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, the business landscape is constantly changing.

So, what do Exec Search leaders think the biggest change has been? 

The right Chair is more than a facilitator – they're the catalyst for focused, effective decision-making that drives success. In the last six months we’ve place 15 outstanding Chair candidates! These individuals bring strategic vision, governance expertise, and sector specific knowledge.

In 25 years of placing CEOs, we've seen them ignite change – driving growth, leading turnarounds, even transforming entire industries.

This is just a snapshot of the sectors where their impact has been felt.

The right leader can be the difference between stagnation and groundbreaking success. But how do you consistently identify individuals who can drive growth, foster positive change, and align with your unique vision?

Just as a New Moon signals a time for setting intentions, we've spent a quarter-century helping great leaders embark on new chapters and achieve their ambitions. Here's to 25 more years of continued growth and exciting opportunities!

The Sun takes centre stage, and the Moon is at its most elusive.

A bit like us, really – you might not always see us, but for 25 years, we’ve been quietly working behind the scenes, connecting Great Leaders with Great Opportunities. We're always here, ready to shine when you need us most!

I never set out to build just another Executive Search firm.

I started Moon because I believed there was a better, more personal way to connect leaders with opportunities and, in turn, connect businesses with the communities they serve.

As Moon was founded in June 2000, the Moon Team gathered this week to mark the moment. Our founding Directors Vanessa Moon and Brian Frost, and other members of the team shared their favourite memories and a few things we’re especially proud of from our time at Moon. The team presented Vanessa and Brian with a ceremonial plaque as we celebrated our journey together.

Come with us as we celebrate 25 in business and 25 years of “opening doors” at Moon Executive Search.
