PASSION FOR PEOPLE
DRIVEN BY PURPOSE
Executive Search, Evaluation, and Advisory
We support values-led organisations through leadership transitions, board development, and succession planning.
From chief executives to board chairs, we help organisations appoint leaders who understand both the role and the wider context.
We draw on behavioural insight, inclusive practice, and structured evaluation to support high-quality leadership decisions. Our work goes beyond credentials, focusing on potential, alignment, and the specific demands of the role.

Passion for people
Leadership demands more than technical competence or sector experience. It requires the ability to understand context, build trust, and lead with purpose over the long term. At Philanthrope, we take a considered and collaborative approach to search and advisory.
As a cooperative, we are structured for shared success. We align incentives with outcomes, invest in long-term partnerships, and apply behavioural insight to help organisations make confident and well-informed leadership decisions.
A different kind of firm
Philanthrope is independent and structured as a cooperative. This means our clients are genuine partners in a model built on transparency, shared accountability, and long-term alignment.
Our approach is reinforced by a performance-based fee model, a guarantee on placements, and annual profit sharing for contributing clients. These mechanisms ensure that trust, outcomes, and accountability go hand in hand.
We partner with B Corps, purpose-led businesses, and impact-focused investors across the UK. We also provide occasional pro bono support for trustee appointments within the non-profit sector.
