§04 · Results

Recent searches, and how they closed.

Three recent mandates. Client names stay confidential.

What clients told us

We had budgeted at a number that no serious BDM would have moved for. Boardroom CXO told us that before we ran the search, and told us what the market actually looked like. We adjusted, ran the search, and closed the hire in under 60 days.

Founder & CEO · Consumer brand

We needed a performance marketer who had actually operated under real ROAS pressure in our price range. Boardroom CXO came back with candidates from the exact brands we benchmark against. The shortlist was sharper than anything we had seen from a generalist firm.

Founder · D2C jewellery brand

We were at the 30-store stage and needed a senior BD head who had done this before. Every candidate Boardroom CXO presented had direct franchise and expansion experience from comparable brands. No learning curve, no compromise.
