An executive search firm that actually understands what a CIO and other senior IT roles do – saving a lot of time on briefing and great candidate selection. Brave enough to challenge our thinking to get a better result.
Simon Ramskill, CIO
They immediately understood RSA’s digital challenges and really “got” what was required in the Chief Digital Officer role. It wasn’t an easy search, but they were tenacious, diligent and effective, finding me great candidates and managing the assignment to a successful finish.
Darren Price, Group CIO
We have recently had great results with Savannah. They spend the time and effort up front to truly understand the client and the specific nature of the role to be filled, they pressure-test the job profile, and are true partners in shaping the role. This allows them to then very rapidly hone in on high-quality candidates and to complete executive searches successfully in aggressive timelines.

Digital & Technology Leaders
Bringing Diversity to Technology
Many organisations are keen to bring fresh perspectives and views that can only come from a diverse range of leaders. The digital and technology partners at Savannah have a deserved reputation for excelling in accessing a diverse breadth of technology leaders.
Once we understand what your ideal candidate looks like, we use our extensive global research capabilities to explore the full talent spectrum, including candidate pools that aren’t necessarily obvious places to look. By looking at everyone we ensure we don’t just hire into a mold but get the right blend of expertise and competencies that your role demands.
Digital & Technology Leaders

We are passionate about helping the CIO function to evolve and have partnered with CIO Development to set up a mentoring scheme to accelerate the professional development of next generation technology leaders.
The scheme now boasts more than 80 heavyweight CIO, CTO and CDO mentors from leading global companies across all sectors, mentoring over 90 aspiring successors and preparing them to take on the most senior technology role in their organisations. What’s more, 25% of our mentees are now in CIO, CTO or CDO roles.
