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 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.
