Our technology Sector of Excellence focuses on executive search for the technology industry, and for corporate
users of technology across all sectors.
The Technology Industry
Technology companies are under increasing pressure to maximise their performance in a rapidly changing global
landscape. The challenges are tough; the pressure is on to capture new business opportunities, and to expand
into new geographic markets. Innovative is vital, as is the need for leaders with strategic vision, and the
ability to deliver results. Today’s technology businesses require individuals who have a global perspective,
a real appreciation of the potential of technology, and a proven commercial edge.
Our consultants focus on finding these people, and building leadership teams. We work for a wide variety of
technology organisations, ranging from the large international players to small, often VC backed, early stage
businesses. The sector focuses the resources of Alexander Hughes on a global basis, along the following areas
of expertise:
• Telecommunication
• Software
• Hardware and Electronics
• IT Professional Services
• Internet
We conduct assignments across all functions, with an emphasis on CEOs and board/senior management level individuals,
with an international remit.
Corporate Users of Technology
The rapid pace of technology, its application and development, is having a great impact on the role of the CIO
and their team. Our consultants advise businesses across all sectors in which IT has become an increasingly
critical aspect of business management. In addition to CIOs, we also handle assignments for CTOs, IT Directors,
Technical Directors, Development Directors, and senior technical specialists within their teams.
