Leadership Solutions
As businesses begin to move from crisis response to planning and business restart, Boards and leadership teams are re-evaluating and re-focusing many aspects of their organisations. From changes to organisational structure, reinvigorating commercial operations and improving technology through to employee, customer experience and operational changes, businesses need the right leadership in the right places to move forward, faster.
Savannah can help businesses acquire high impact executives to increase leadership capability both in the short and medium term, provide in-depth candidate mapping to guide future talent acquisition strategies or help organisations virtually onboard new senior hires.

Executive Interim + Search
An Integrated Approach
Savannah is one of the few executive search firms specialising in both executive search and executive interim appointments, helping your business adapt with agility, pace and confidence. Working with publicly listed and large private businesses along with Private Equity and their portfolio businesses, we offer an integrated approach to hiring executive talent. After understanding the business’s immediate needs and it’s longer term requirements, we parachute in a seasoned executive interim able to start within a week to immediately increase leadership capability and address any critical business concerns. Once in place, an executive search partner works with the client and the interim to identify what the long term successor needs to look like and we then run a full search process to identify and hire that person. We work with the client, the outgoing interim and the incoming full time executive to ensure a smooth transition and transfer of knowledge.
It’s a solution that provides the best of both worlds. Immediate executive support in a key area of the business and deliver key short-term objectives with the space to identify who the right long term leader should be.
Bespoke Assessment
What Do Business Critical Leaders Need to Look Like in Business Critical Times?
In today’s ambiguous environment, identifying the right leadership attributes for current and new executive hires can be as challenging as finding them. Savannah helps you do both. We’ve distilled all our experience of working on over a thousand business transformation programmes into a revealing leadership assessment model, designed to dig deep into leadership styles in volatile and uncertain environments. The result? A better understanding of a potential hire and the way in which they like to lead, performing and complementing the team from day one.
Have provided our international leadership team with insight on where the best talent sits. Always extremely responsive, easy to deal with and a pleasure to work with.
