What Sets Us Apart
Decades of Sector Intelligence: As chairs, managing directors, and senior practitioners ourselves, we've built teams and driven results in the industries we now serve. We bring deep operational experience across technology, gaming, arts and entertainment, e-commerce, think-tanks, events and more. This firsthand expertise gives us unique insight into the qualities that define exceptional leaders and teams — and how to identify and secure them for your organisation.
Results You Can Trust: Whether your require Board, C-Suite, SLT or complete team builds, our proven methodology consistently delivers outstanding outcomes. Every search comes backed by our six-month placement guarantee—because we stand behind our work.
Worldwide Experience, Local Insight: Operating from our London headquarters, we've completed searches spanning multiple continents, bringing global perspective to your leadership challenges.
How We Work
JDA builds exceptional networks at unprecedented speed.
While traditional searches can take months or years to develop meaningful market connections, our approach creates comprehensive networks in weeks, further enriching those we’ve already built over decades working in and with the industries ourselves. Each assignment involves conversations with dozens of industry professionals, giving us complete market visibility and access to both active and passive candidates.
Through rigorous in-person assessment, we evaluate not just credentials but cultural fit, leadership style, and transformational potential. We commit to exclusive representation—one client, one search, complete focus. Our six-month guarantee reflects our confidence in this approach.
What Drives Us
Your Vision Is Our North Star: No two leadership challenges are identical. We invest time understanding your specific needs, culture, and aspirations rather than defaulting to familiar names or existing networks.
Strategic Partnership Beyond Placement: Almost two decades and hundreds of searches have taught us invaluable lessons. We share this accumulated wisdom to help you make decisions that shape your organization's future.
Talent Without Boundaries: Exceptional leaders emerge from unexpected places. Organizations that embrace diverse perspectives are more agile, innovative, and resilient—and better places to work.
Thoroughness Without Exception: Our comprehensive process leaves no stone unturned, creates equitable opportunities for all candidates, and reveals outstanding talent others might overlook.
Impact That Matters: The right businesses create positive ripples—for their teams, their customers, and society. We're energized by helping purpose-driven organizations reach their potential.
