Leading executive search specialists Warren Partners have launched a new sports sector practice, led by directors Mike Penny and Tom Manger and advised by Niels de Vos, Chief Executive of UK Athletics.
The new practice builds on the consultancy's growing expertise in recruiting senior executives for clubs and sports governing bodies. It also has access to a bespoke network of established sports professionals, who will advise on all aspects of research, profiling and short-listing.
This advisory panel is headed by Niels de Vos, who is also a National Olympic Committee member and was previously chief executive at Guinness Premiership Rugby club Sale Sharks.
As both a candidate and recruiter, I've been impressed by the innovative Warren Partners approach, commented Niels de Vos. Senior people handle the brief, with the detailed knowledge and professionalism to act as very effective brand ambassadors for the client.
I'm looking forward to advising the team in understanding the wide range of skills required for senior management roles in the sports sector. An in-depth knowledge of the role and access to the best candidates worldwide is the key to successful recruitment.
Added Mike Penny: With a growing demand for talent within the highly competitive sports arena, it is vital that organisations work with recruitment partners they can trust and who will deliver the talent they need.
