Spear’s Review

‘‘Our business has thrived and our focus is on appointments in the family office, wealth management and asset management sectors,’ says Stephenson Executive Search founder Billy Stephenson. ‘We partner with clients and help them across the whole of their business: appointing CEOs, CFOs and heads of divisions.'

‘Supporting the continued drive for diversity is critical,’ he continues. ‘It is always our policy to present the best possible candidate, and we work hard to make sure that our selection pool is representative of the total population.’ The firm, he tells Spear's, is a signatory of the Black Talent Charter and has 'committed to help promote black talent in the UK.' 

Stephenson, a former Credit Suisse private banker, founded his firm in 2012. In addition to traditional recruitment services, it also provides high-level board reviews, advice on governance and non-executive hires.

‘Representing our clients in the wider market is a privilege,’ says Stephenson. ‘Our role is that of an ambassador and we take great pride in understanding our clients’ strategies so we can represent them effectively.’
