Bentley Lewis, Executive Search | Talent Advisory
About Bentley Lewis

A global boutique, built for the hires that matter.

Founded in 2010, Bentley Lewis is an award-winning global boutique executive search and talent advisory firm. We combine the precision of technology-enabled search with a deep commitment to genuine human connection, serving listed global corporations and private equity backed firms from hubs across EMEA, the Americas and APAC.

Our mission is to serve those who serve others.

Big enough to deliver anywhere. Small enough that a senior partner runs every search personally. That is the trade we made on purpose, and it is why clients who try us once tend to take us everywhere.

Where we are

One firm, three regions, 40+ countries.

Senior team members in 11 global cities, with searches delivered in more than 40 countries. The ENEX network and our TATE partnership extend that reach wherever a mandate leads.

The people behind the work

Senior partners, end to end.

The person you meet in the first conversation is the person who runs your search. There is no handoff. That’s not how we’re built.

How we work

Your executive recruiting team.

Most firms run a process. We build an understanding, of your strategy, your culture, and what this appointment has to deliver, and we stay accountable long after the start date.

01

Learn

We start inside your business, not inside a database. Strategy, culture, board dynamics, and what success in this seat looks like three years out.

02

Research

Human judgment backed by AI-supported market intelligence. We map the whole landscape, including leaders who aren’t looking, and the unconventional profiles others miss.

03

Assess

Criteria-led, merit-based evaluation, with regular updates, candidate insights and market intelligence throughout. You always know exactly where the search stands.

04

Partner

The placement isn’t the finish line. We stay close through onboarding and beyond, ongoing counsel on the team around the hire, not just a completed search.

By the numbers

The numbers we hold ourselves to.

Anyone can fill a seat. The only measure that matters is whether the leader succeeds, and stays.
