Executive Search
We find the leaders who can deliver with AI.
Retained search focused exclusively on AI-forward executives — across all industries, all functions, Europe-wide.
The Problem We Solve
Most executive search still treats AI as a credential to check. BRAINWAVE talent is built around a different premise: AI fluency is a leadership capacity. The ability to think with AI, deploy it across an organization, and make sound decisions under uncertainty is what separates executives who accelerate performance from those who limit it.
We identify that capacity reliably — and place it.
Our Search Process
- Mandate Definition We work with you to define the AI leadership competencies specific to your context, not a generic job description.
- Market Mapping Proprietary TalentGraph intelligence combined with direct sourcing across our European network.
- Evaluation Every shortlisted candidate completes our AI Readiness Evaluation before presentation.
- Shortlist A focused, evidence-based shortlist you can trust. Typically 3–5 candidates.
- Closing & Onboarding Advisory We stay engaged through offer, acceptance, and the first 90 days.
Who We Work With
We work with organizations convinced of the transformative potential of AI — boards, CEOs, and CHROs who understand that the right executive hire in this window compounds advantage faster than any other investment.
