Leadership Search.
As executive search specialists we have over twenty years of experience in Executive Search, Board of Directors Search, to talent pipelining & succession planning experience, we have developed a laser focus on Risk, Compliance, Government & Regulatory Affairs, and Corporate Governance, to support clients’ top team talent requirements across various sectors including Financial Services, FinTech, Crypto, Technology, and Management Consulting.
By being singularly focused on risk, compliance, and governance, and as a retained partner Second Line Advisors can confidently claim to appreciate a client’s needs and culture better and thus fill the management gaps faster and more effectively than a generalist search firm.
Compliance, including Regulatory Compliance and Financial Crime (BSA/AML, Anti-Corruption, Fraud, Sanctions) are a core foundation to our network and client success list. We keep ongoing discussions with industry leaders as well as those with the tangential skill set.
The risk function has evolved well beyond its measurement and quantitative foundation, now inclusive of Enterprise, Cyber, Operational and Financial Risk segments, and all tied to the rapid growth and utilization of technology and sophisticated initiatives in automation.
The manner in which organizations interact with their local, regional, and global regulatory authorities are far from consistent. We are keenly aware of the talent in both the public and private marketplace and the attributes needed to be successful.
The role of corporate governance has evolved due to an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. We continuously track Privacy, Legal, Cyber, Data, and ESG talent, for which demand has significantly increased in the last several years.
