Your Seat on the Board

Essex Partners has successfully helped our clients land a variety of public and private board roles. We have an understanding of the broader business context that currently informs director and committee selection processes, as well as an extensive knowledge of board compensation.  Therefore, we will leverage our experience and relationships to show you the latest trends driving corporate governance, assess your strengths, and help you identify and effectively pursue board opportunities that fit your background and interests.

As with a traditional executive job search, we help you establish the unique value you can bring to the boardroom.  We will then work with you to build and execute an effective search strategy including creating a powerful personal brand that projects your potential contributions to a board of directors.

Essex helps you get the visibility you need to position yourself for corporate board leadership by strategically leveraging your relationships and broadening your network with our connections to current board members, business contacts, and former clients. We also identify and reach out to the appropriate retained recruiters that specialize in board searches. We have the proven process, expertise, and relationships to make your board ambitions a reality.

We can also advise you on executive roles, career change, entrepreneurship, and beyond career.
