  • Savannah Group
    Managing Partner - Head Of Consulting & Advisory
    Savannah Group Jun 2021 - Jun 2022
    London, Gb
    Having established, scaled and sold RDW I was looking for a new challenge, so joined Savannah to establish and lead a new Consulting and Advisory practice. Here, we were able to leverage my network across the Consulting sector to deliver business transformation and change projects x-sector. Savannah Group is a global executive search and interim management firm specialising in board appointments, functional C-Suite appointments and key-sectors. We empower business leadership teams by helping them acquire proven leaders that enable and deliver short-term and long-term transformation.

Core to our philosophy at Savannah is our strong belief that businesses need transformational leaders now more than ever. Transformational leadership is fast becoming one of the core facets of a desirable senior executive, as businesses look to build on their history while creating a new vision for the future. Leaders need to think, act and react differently to be successful and relevant in an ever-changing world.

Through our work with leading Fortune 500, FTSE 100, 250, 350, Public and Private Equity backed firms along with a robust assessment methodology designed for the modern business environment, we have developed a high-quality range of services that have earned us a reputation for providing organisations with the proven transformational leadership they need; whatever stage they are at in their journey.
  • Rees Draper Wright
    Senior Managing Partner And Founder
    Rees Draper Wright Aug 2002 - Jun 2021
    London, City Of London, Gb
    Founder and leader of Rees Draper Wright, a specialist international executive search firm that focuses exclusively on the placement of senior professionals within world-class organisations. I led the growth of the business from our offices in London, building a world-class team of consultants servicing clients across the globe. We built upon this success by opening our offices in New York in 2014. Having enjoyed great success in our initial 14 years, I sold the business to InterQuest Group in August 2016 to realise shareholder value and join InterQuest's wider trading platform. This move created an excellent opportunity to join the Board of a large portfolio recruitment business with service offerings encompassing outsourcing, contingent permanent, contract and consulting, delivered into a wide variety of market sectors. RDW slotted in neatly as the search business within the group and we enabled InterQuest to make their first moves into international markets - it was a very successful partnership. The following years saw RDW further leverage the InterQuest platform by building new teams focussing on HR, Technology and Interim, plus we added new propositions including search as a managed service and a successful leadership assessment and onboarding capability.
