Drawing on research conducted with Florian Bauer and the University of Bristol, this article examines why agility in organisations must be balanced with strategic purpose.

Can success become a barrier? Why future growth demands more than past performance….

At Moon Exec, we are interested in the people behind successful organisations: the leaders shaping culture, making difficult decisions and creating environments where others can thrive. 

To launch our new Leadership Q&A series, we are delighted to feature Jamie Feilden, Founder and Co-CEO of Jamie's Farm.

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.

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?

On Fri 21st November, Moon Executive Search's Head of Management, Engineering & Technical Practice, Gemma Wilks, hosted a line-up of leading experts for a straightforward look at cyber and boardroom risks and responsibilities.

On 20th October 2025, Moon Executive Search, in collaboration with partners VWV Law Firm and Narrow Quay HR, successfully hosted the third event in the NED Leadership Lab series.

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.

We joined forces with Ashfords last week at the techSPARK Bristol Technology Festival to host a workshop titled, Staying ahead: risk, compliance and boardroom responsibility for Non Execs. The session offered attendees a roadmap for navigating the complexities of governance in today’s fast-evolving business landscape.

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 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?
