About Gallop Executive 

 

Gallop Executive has been founded by Hannah Cox, a well known and well respected headhunter in the business transformation space. Hannah offers a very unique perspective for clients, having being a top performer in the corporate search world with Korn Ferry, and having extensive experience in boutique environments. As well as starting her professional career building out operational and support structures in high growth technology focused financial services businesses, preparing them for sale.

Gallop Executive is a premium quality search firm that specialises in the permanent, fractional and interim recruitment of senior commercial and transformation leaders across digital, operations and marketing. With a success rate of almost 100% over a fifteen year period, far outpacing the industry’s 75-90% norm, quite simply, we are brilliant at what we do and are masters of our profession.

We bring together the knowledge and excellence of a corporate search firm, with the agility and commitment of a boutique. 

We give our clients access to our exclusive network of carefully nurtured senior leadership talent across our specialist areas, and by working in close partnership with our clients, we plan and architect recruitment processes that are robust, efficient, and specifically designed to get to a positive outcome, quickly. 

Some of the businesses that we have worked with include Starling Bank, Ecotricity and Bose Corporation, as well as smaller niche technology and consumer players.  

We are really passionate about bringing fresh ideas to the table, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is at the core of our business inherently. Whether or not a client has a specific DE&I focus, we always help our clients to think differently and we provide a broad range of candidates to choose from. There is a real art to what we do – and ‘cookie cutter’ isn’t it. 

As part of our high quality service proposition we utilise bespoke Leadership Assessment & Development methodology, based on Insights Discovery, to give our clients candidates with the right cultural fit, and ensure that every candidate placed is set up for success in their new role. 

Having placed many unicorn candidates into high impact roles, Gallop Executive has been formed to bring efficient high quality search to UK and global businesses, providing value above our competitors from day one, with the agility to be able to flex to the needs of our clients.

No politics, no unnecessary processes, just honest and straight forward high quality search recruitment, on terms that are workable for both our clients and us. Win-win. 

We work across multiple industry sectors, with a variety of different sized businesses placing commercial and transformational senior leadership roles across digital, operations and marketing functions. 

Our extensive networks span across the UK and wider Europe, and we place regional and global roles.
