Our Story

More Than Recruitment.

We connect organisations with leaders who
align vision, culture, and impact.

Executive Solutions was born from the belief that true leadership recruitment is about more than filling a vacancy. Founded by Denise Brady, and backed by over 25 years of experience, we combine empathy, insight, and excellence to deliver leaders who transform organisations.

Our difference lies in going beyond the placement. With a proven success rate, a three-month aftercare guarantee, and a unique blend of executive search, psychometric assessment, and coaching, we ensure every leader thrives long after the hire.
