We Find Leaders Who Deliver —
Not Just Impress

Identifying leaders who align to your strategy, culture, and philosophy.

Our Vision

Business has changed.
Leadership must, too.

AI is reshaping roles. Productivity is under pressure. Expectations are sharper than ever.
Today’s leaders must unite hybrid and remote teams, bridge cultural and generational divides, and deliver at speed, with clarity, resilience, and adaptability.

It’s no longer just about technical skills.
It’s about modern leadership and the ability to thrive within specific organizational realities.

At Susan Pike & Partners

We specialize in identifying executives who can slot into your today while shaping your tomorrow. 

 

We assess what actually drives performance in today’s world:

Technical Expertise

Deep functional knowledge, vetted by industry veterans

Modern Leadership Competencies

Agility, resilience, digital fluency, and adaptive thinking

Contextual Fit

Alignment with your culture, pace, stage, and strategic priorities

We solve the Six problems that break most executive hires:

We go deeper than conventional search. Our proprietary methodology—driven by over 20 years of global experience—identifies the leaders who will succeed in your specific environment.

1. Confidence gets rewarded over capability
2. Past success ≠ future fit
3. Bias clouds decision-making
4. Roles evolve faster than job descriptions
5. Cultural misfit derails performance
6. Business circumstances overlooked.

Avoiding costly mis-hires starts with clarity about what success means for your organization. Once that’s defined, every hiring decision gets backed by evidence.

From Search to Impact.

We don’t just hire—we build teams that execute.
From board and executive search to succession planning and talent advisory, we’ll press the pedal on your growth.

Competency + Context = Real-World Fit
