Executive search, advisory and recruitment for technology-led businesses
Retained search for CIO, CTO, CDO, CPO and senior technology leadership roles across Australia, partnering with boards, investors and executive teams on the appointments that shape commercial performance.
Working with technology leaders to build their teams across software engineering, product, data, AI, enterprise systems, architecture, cloud, platform and cyber .
Contract and interim technology professionals across every level, placed into critical technology, product, data and AI work.
Supporting investors and leadership teams through M&A, carve-outs, divestments and major technology transformations with the leadership and talent to get it done.
Most search firms work in one layer of the organisation.
We work from the leadership through to the delivery capability.
That end-to-end view means our advice on structure, sequencing and hiring is based on commercial reality.
Most search failures are scoping failures. We embed early, meet the stakeholders and pressure-test the role against the specific business context before we run a single search. If the brief is wrong, we will tell you.
Deep networks, repeat outcomes, and a track record across the full technology organisation, from leadership to delivery capability.
We have a strong track record building technology teams that perform and stick. That includes consistently improving gender diversity in engineering and product, in talent pools where most firms do not reach.
How a firm runs its search process is the first signal a candidate reads, executive or not. We help you build the narrative to attract the best people. Every interaction from first conversation to start date reflects on you. We manage it deliberately.
For organisations hiring at pace or navigating change, we partner closely to build teams quickly and properly, delivering impact faster.
We define the role scope, success measures and team context upfront so the search reflects what the business actually needs.
Executive and senior technology hires across engineering, product, data and AI, with leaders who are built to deliver commercially, with the technical depth to back it up. That includes AI executive search and the leadership appointments that sit around it.
A sample of searches we have recently closed. We keep the specifics light to protect the people and companies involved.

Lewis covers the full data and AI organisation, from Chief Data Officer through to platform and engineering, across some of Australia's most complex technology environments.
Technology leadership aligned to the investment thesis, from diligence through to exit readiness. We understand what a portfolio business needs at each stage of the value creation cycle, working across Sydney and Australia.
Most boards only engage a search firm when the role is already defined. We work best when the conversation starts before the role is locked in.
We work directly with CTOs, CIOs and heads of engineering on structure, sequencing and the people decisions that determine whether the function actually delivers.
