Leadership Appointments
Helping family businesses choose the right leaders and make it work.
We help families make confident leadership calls whether that means hiring from outside, promoting from within, or reshaping the board for what’s next.
These decisions carry weight. They’re rarely just about experience. They’re about timing, trust, influence and whether the business is truly ready for someone new to lead.
At TWYD, we bring clarity, structure and insight to leadership appointments, so you can make the right call, and make it stick.
When to call us
We support the appointment of both non-family and family to either executive or non-executive roles:
- Chairs and Non-Executive Directors
- CEOs, Managing Directors and General Managers
- CFOs and other C-suite leaders
- Heads of Function in Operations, HR, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Digital
We work all functions and industries. Our expertise lies in understanding what will work best for your business — and your family.
How we help
We offer both end-to-end executive search and standalone advisory support. That might include:
- Reviewing your current leadership set-up and readiness for change
- Clarifying what success looks like not just on paper, but in practice
- Building internal consensus around the appointment
- Supporting internal candidates or rising-generation successors
- Leading the recruitment of senior individuals, Non-executive Directors and interim executives
- Using our TWYD Clarity™ framework to reduce the risks of getting it wrong
Why TWYD
Because in family business, a leadership appointment is never just a hire.
It’s a shift. A decision with emotional, strategic and relational consequences.
We don’t do generic shortlists. We don’t force-fit candidates.
We ask the right questions, help you think it through and stay close until the right person is in place.
We’re not here to sell you someone. We’re here to help you choose wisely and make it work.
“Bringing in a non-family CEO felt like a big risk. TWYD made sure we got it right.”
