The Venari Podcast
Venari Partners is a boutique Executive Search & Advisory firm. We help our clients to identify, attract and retain essential leadership talent around the world. With 85% of our mandates completed internationally, we are committed to taking a truly global approach and leave no stone unturned. We were founded on the belief that Executive Search experiences, for clients and candidates alike, should be a lot better. Our mission is simple: to provide outstanding experiences to our customers and make them as passionate about finding talent as we are. We do not profess to be able to source candidates across every sector and functional discipline. Instead, we operate in niche markets where our industry knowledge, extensive networks and passion make us a market leader. If we cannot provide a world-class service, we would rather not provide a service at all. We place leaders into the following disciplines: Strategy, Commercial, Operational, Financial, and Digital & Technology. We are sector specialists in these industries: Aviation & Aerospace, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Private Equity & Venture Capital, Retail & Consumer Goods, and Travel, Hospitality & Logistics. For more information on our services and solutions, visit our website and follow us on social media.

For someone who professes not to have had a plan for how his leadership career might go, things have worked out well for Ed Alford. After long, successful stints as a consultant (Andersen/Accenture) (BP, where he was Global CIO and Senior VP in the Group Leadership team), in April 2021 Ed changed course entirely when he became CTO at New Look.

After getting over the urge to do everything himself, he now credits his role in various projects he oversaw as ‘allowing people to have the space where they were trusted’.
