Proudly Canadian-owned 🍁 Serving Canada’s Leadership Community
About us
At Neil Executive Search, we are a boutique, founder led executive search firm specializing in senior technology and financial services roles across Canada.
We are known for a risk led approach to executive search, designed for roles where the cost of a mis hire is high and the margin for error is small.
Rather than focusing only on resumes and track records, we work to understand the true business context behind each hire. We identify the conditions under which this leader must succeed, the pressures they will face, and the risks that could cause failure in the first twelve to twenty four months.
Candidates are assessed through structured behavioural interviews and calibrated referencing focused on judgment, execution, and leadership under pressure.
Our objective is to help organizations make confident long term leadership decisions in regulated and complex environments.
Our Vision
At NES, our vision is to build Canada’s most influential and connected executive leadership community—an ecosystem where the nation’s top leaders come together to develop, inspire, and elevate one another.
We are creating a powerful, coast-to-coast network that bridges industries, strengthens ethical leadership, accelerates innovation, and fuels long-term prosperity for Canadians.
Grounded in integrity and human dignity, this community will serve as a catalyst for national progress—shaping stronger leaders, ethical organizations, and ultimately, a more prosperous Canada for generations to come.
