Leadership for multi-market businesses
Regional roles call for leaders who can work across different regulators, currencies, cultures, and operating conditions. We look for leaders with a proven record across markets, not just in one country.
We regularly search across East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia), as well as West and Southern African markets and the African diaspora in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
Typical Africa mandates
Regional CEOs and managing directors for groups expanding from one hub into several countries.
Country managers for international companies entering African markets for the first time.
Functional leaders such as finance, risk, technology, and people leaders who will oversee teams across borders.
What changes in a cross-border search
We agree early on where the role is based, how much travel is involved, relocation terms, and work permit requirements, because these shape who will consider the role.
Compensation is benchmarked by market and by currency. Assessment includes evidence that the candidate has led in more than one operating environment.
