Mission Match
Mission Match is a specialist retained board search practice appointing Chairs, Non-Executive Directors, and Independent Directors. We focus on one outcome: exceptional board appointments.
Every search is led at Partner level, from mandate to appointment. We are founder-led, with backgrounds spanning executive search, senior government, and public appointments. We have experience leading international searches, including board and C-suite appointments in financial services and fintech.
We specialise in ambitious SMEs, high-growth and PE-backed businesses, mission-driven organisations, and public bodies. Through strategic partnerships, including with Starbuck & Associates' NED Academy, we reach governance-trained, board-ready talent beyond traditional networks, and we assess every candidate for their contribution to cognitive diversity.
We find the thinking your board is missing.
