We find leaders who resonate with your organisation, then give you the evidence to be certain.

Empowering resonating leadership

Executive search

In times of change, organisations need transformative leaders who can navigate complexity and move the business forward. We assess and attract the talent aligned with your objectives, supporting business and culture transformation alike. Every search runs as a structured, collaborative eight-week process with full transparency.

  • C-suite, country and regional leadership
  • Distribution, agency and partnership leadership
  • Technology, data, AI and transformation
  • Finance, risk, actuarial and product

Benchmarking for resonance

Leadership assessment

We are strong judges of character and functional leadership. Drawing on decades across executive search, banking and insurance, we co-develop a target success profile with you, then benchmark every candidate, internal or external, against it. The result is a clear, evidence-based view of who will thrive in the role.

  • Co-developed target success profiles
  • Cognitive interviewing, not competency checklists
  • The GC Index® certified practitioners
  • Individual, team and organisational profiles

Leadership continuity

Succession planning

Leadership continuity is a board-level risk. We benchmark your internal talent against industry standards, assess organisational health and coach high-potential leaders so the succession plan is real, not a slide. Where the bench is thin, our search practice fills it.

  • Internal talent benchmarking against the market
  • Organisational health and leadership-team assessment
  • Development and coaching for internal successors
  • Confidential market mapping for critical roles

Leaders in transition

Executive coaching

The first year in a bigger role is where strategies and careers are made. We coach senior leaders through that transition, from the first hundred days to the moments when the role changes underneath them, with the same understanding of the human behind the CV that runs through every search we do.

  • Transition coaching for newly appointed leaders
  • Development plans built on The GC Index® profile
  • Coaching for internal successors and high-potential leaders
  • A confidential sounding board for the top team

Counsel at the top

Leadership advisory

Strategy moves faster than organisation charts. We work with CEOs, boards and HR leaders on the leadership questions behind a plan: whether the top team is built for what comes next, how it works together, and where the gaps are. The counsel is independent and grounded in the same assessment discipline as our search and succession work.

  • Top-team structure and effectiveness
  • Assessment for selection and development
  • Organisational health and culture diagnostics
  • Executive and team AI training

Governance that resonates

Board placements

Boards in regulated industries need directors who bring independent judgement and relevant experience. We map the market for non-executive and independent directors, assess candidates against the board's composition and the expectations of its regulators, and make the discreet approaches this work depends on. Every appointment runs retained and in strict confidence.

  • Non-executive and independent director searches
  • Board composition and skills-gap mapping
  • Chair and committee chair appointments
  • Confidential approaches to sitting directors

Our approach

Multidimensional assessment. Fact-based profiles.

A

Client understanding

We work closely with your organisation to understand its leadership, cultural and strategic needs, co-developing an ideal target success profile that every candidate is benchmarked against.

B

Leadership experience

With decades of executive search and leadership evaluation experience, we understand the key traits candidates need to thrive. Experience and potential are assessed in equal measure.

C

Industry expertise

Our team comprises experienced practitioners from banking and insurance, providing clear insight into the skills and expertise required to succeed at the highest levels.

D

Cognitive interviewing

Our interviewing methodology reveals how top candidates think and lead, using cognitive interviewing techniques rather than competency checklists.

Stage three

Quantifying a leader's energy for impact.

Resonance Asia is a certified partner of The GC Index®. Where a personality instrument tells you how someone describes themselves, this tells you what they will actually do in the role.

What it tells you

Where a leader's energy actually goes: the work they will drive, the work they will tolerate, and the work they will quietly leave undone.

How you use it

Compare a shortlist on one basis, see how an appointee will sit alongside the team they join, and defend the decision at board level.
