After 25 years of #OpeningDoors, it's time to close ours on another successful 12 months. What a year it's been – this one will be hard to eclipse! 🌗

A massive thank you to all our clients, partners and friends for working with us this year and every year.

In 25 years, you make a lot of memories!

We asked our team to share their Moon memories...

As we draw towards the end of our 25th year in business, we asked our network to send us a few words to describe Moon Executive Search - here are some of our favourites!

Moon Executive Search believes that communities that are well-supported become better places to live, work and do business. In light of this, over the 25 years that we’ve been in business, we have striven not only to be led by the positive impact we can have on the economy, but also on the environment and communities around us.

Over the last 25 years, we’ve built a reputation of trust and excellence by connecting exceptional leaders with defining opportunities. Our work relies on a foundation of principles – words that guide every conversation, every search, and every engagement. These 25 words are important to us. They’ve shaped the last quarter-century of our journey and will continue to define us for the next 25 years and beyond.

Organisations that shape a better future are defined by social purpose. They are the engines that improve communities, safeguard the environment, and advance social causes. Our Charity Practice, led by Sandy Hinks, connects exceptional leaders with opportunities to make a real difference. As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, we’re exploring the role top-tier leaders play in driving a charity’s mission.

The C-suite sets the ambitious vision, charting the company's long-term course, but specialist talent is the engine room that translates strategy into success. Mid to senior-level managers, engineers, and technical professionals form a business’s operational core, making daily decisions that impact profitability, efficiency, and customer experience. This is why we dedicated an entire practice to these key roles – our Management, Engineering and Technical (MET) Practice. 

Leadership consulting diagnoses weaknesses, unlocks potential, and ensures your leadership framework can handle future challenges. It enables your business to thrive in change, rather than simply survive it.

Attracting top-tier C-suite talent is often the difference in driving growth. Executive leaders are the drivers of change, the architects of strategy, and the makers of company-defining decisions. The key question is, how do you find them?

Getting promoted to the C-suite is the goal for many senior-level professionals, but the path isn't always clear. To celebrate 25 years of Moon Executive Search, we're providing insights from a quarter-century of connecting exceptional leaders with leading companies. If you’re an aspiring executive, these tips could help you take the next step in your career and level up to the C-suite.

As we celebrate our anniversary, we're proud to see how far that mission has taken us! This map shows a snapshot of the locations where we've placed exceptional talent. From the heart of the UK to international hubs like Copenhagen, New York, and Dubai, our reach continues to grow.

Want to know what separates a good candidate from a great one?

Over the last quarter-century, Moon Executive Search has connected countless great leaders with great opportunities.

Through it all, we've learned a lot about leadership, relationships, and what it takes to build a high-performing team. Here are 25 lessons we've learned in 25 years.

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?
