More than three decades in specialist Executive Search
2006
MERCERBRIDGE established
MERCERBRIDGE was founded in 2006, building on specialist search experience across Technology, Information Security, Cyber Security and Governance, Risk and Compliance dating back to the early 1990s.
Over more than three decades, Sean Farrell has seen first-hand how technology, regulation and emerging risks have changed organisations and the expertise they need.
That experience brings perspective to every assignment. It helps us understand how specialist markets have developed, where relevant expertise can be found and what it takes to engage people who may not be actively considering their next move.
Looking beyond the CV
A successful appointment is about more than experience on paper. We look at the organisation, the challenge, the individual and the contribution they need to make.
A personal approach to every assignment.
Every mandate is different. MERCERBRIDGE takes time to understand the organisation, its culture, the challenge and what the right appointment needs to achieve.
