Board Search
The boardroom has never been under more scrutiny. At a time when expectations for board engagement, ethics, governance, and overall performance have never been higher, many boards lack diversity and leadership. Our corporate board recruiters are experts in board search services, bringing decades of expertise to the hiring process and finding the right leader.
Boards are under pressure from the capital markets, media, regulators, shareholders, CEOs, and other constituencies to provide strategic value and ensure the enterprise’s sustainability through executive transitions and complex market conditions. Whether it’s advising individual board members, lead directors, committee chairs, or working with the entire board, we are expert consultants and widely known as a top-tier board of directors search firm that offers professional board advisory services for our clients:
• Board Chair & Board Director Assessment & Evaluation
• Director Selection & Board Composition
• Director Succession and Assimilation
• Board Advisory, Consulting & Development
• CEO & CXO Succession & Assimilation
• Board Chair Succession Planning
• Board Governance, Risk Management & Compliance
• Compensation
Few things can influence executive leadership like an engaged, productive, and insightful Board of Directors. Our team of expert consultants has deep expertise in amplifying boards by helping them identify their needs, align their resources, lead in the present, govern, and plan for the future. If you’re ready to maximize your board effectiveness, efficiency, and impact– then we should talk.

We understand the intricacies of executive and board leadership and have a robust network of C-level recruiters with unfettered access to tier-one executive and board talent across industries.
More diverse teams are better teams. We have a proven track record of helping organizations get there with some of the highest diverse placement rates in the industry.
We aim to help companies become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. First, because it’s the right thing to do. Second, because it will make your team perform at a higher level, the C-Suite’s diversity of thought and perspective leads to better decision-making and better outcomes.
Vue amplifies N2Growth’s diverse and equitable search guarantee by enabling anti-bias candidate review and evaluation processes, harnessing the power of AI to remove prejudiced language about candidates, and continuously assessing candidate pool diversity to ensure executive talent from all groups, classes, and backgrounds are represented. Together, these capabilities enable the evaluation of all of the most highly qualified, transformational talent for your organization.
Our search consultants have the global reach, infrastructure, and network because we are a top-ranked search firm. And we are harnessing those resources to advance the mission of increased equity at the executive level.

Whatever your unique company culture needs to diversify to become that equitable microcosm of society that you aspire to be, we can help.
Many organizations have established robust DE&I education and training programs. While incredibly important, training alone is not enough. It’s a starting point. Leaders need to identify, attract, and retain diverse leaders that will be a culture add and help accelerate your organization toward a better future. A more aware culture is one thing, but when employees can look around the organization and see other people like them, that represents real diversity. We’re ready to partner with you to co-create a more equitable future together.
