Director recruitment
Ward Howell is a leader in the Russian executive search market and has considerable expertise in the selection of Board members for private and public companies.
The presence of independent directors on a Board of directors is an indicator of a professionally built corporate governance system, which in turn increases the level of stakeholder trust and helps to attract additional investment in the company and increase its value.
We help Boards of directors:
- assess the representation of the required competencies at Board level;
- create a profile of an independent director;
- rank the best professionals who fit the profile, and evaluate their compatibility with the Board in question.
