What a Headhunter Looks for in a NED

Authored by Peter Waine, Board Mentor, Criticaleye

Non-executive Directors are hired as much for their savvy to influence boardroom decision-making as for their wealth of situational experience, and the right appointment has the potential to transform a company.

This article is part of the Criticaleye Q&A series and is based on a recent conference call with Peter Waine, Partner at headhunting firm Hanson Green, and his accompanying article NEDhunter – Selecting an independent Non-executive Director. Members of the Criticaleye Community were given the opportunity to pose questions directly to Peter and this article captures the basis of his answers.
