We help clients identify and appoint independent Directors who meet our clients’ needs in the context of their strategic and operational priorities. We work to ensure that an organization’s Board is comprised of an appropriate balance of Directors in terms of specific skills and capabilities, experience, and representation. As well, we work to ensure that members of the Board individually and collectively have appropriate knowledge and interest in governance issues. The search for independent Directors differs significantly from Senior Executive Search.

Our context driven Board search process uncovers the gaps that exist in the skills, experience and capability of the current Board. Prospective candidates are identified based not only on their skills and suitability, but also on the requirements and objectives of the client organization. Each candidate must clearly demonstrate an ability to create distinctive value through his/her ability to handle the scale, complexity and commercial risks that the company’s operations entail and make a true contribution to Board discussions.

Using this process and working in partnership with our clients, Amrop's senior practice executives help ensure that the Board is composed of the necessary strategic and technical skills to guide the organization. We have successfully helped to develop and appoint Board members across the entire spectrum of industries, all around the world.

Amrop works with existing Boards as well as helping start-up organizations set up suitable Boards of Directors that are both appropriate to the aims and core business of the company as well as being compliant with Governance rules and regulations. In many cases, Amrop has also been tasked with the identification of the ideal candidate to Chair the Board with extremely successful outcomes. Working with a key Governance expert, Amrop can also offer a review process to ensuring that our clients' Boards meet the expectations of new Governance regulations.
