Spin outs and start up ventures are unique situations that demand very specific skills and attitudes founded on entrepreneurial spirit and innovative nature, not commonly found in career executives.

Recruitment of a replacement CEO for the Technology Transfer business of Dstl.

In 2009 the existing CEO of PIL transferred to run a spin out. Having done an exceptional job over the previous 4 years he was a hard act to follow. I was contracted to find a replacement utilising a combined internet advertising and head hunting strategy. The advertisement brought a response that far exceeded expectations in terms of quantity and quality. This was supplemented by a focussed search process. Over 30 interviews were conducted and an exceptional 6 person shortlist was chosen with 3 people being considered excellent candidates for the role. The first choice candidate was offered the role and I managed the salary negotiation through to his acceptance and start in the position.

Initial Market Research and then development of the business proposition for a Sonar business spun out from Dstl. Acted as Chairman taking venture through its first round funding.
