Luxury executive search in London — our home market, and a global capital.
London is both our home market and one of the world’s principal luxury capitals. We conduct retained executive search across London and the UK at board, chief executive and C-suite level, for luxury houses, premium consumer brands and the private wealth that sits around them.
The leadership brief
London-led search with international relevance.
From our London base, we advise founders, boards, family owners and investors on leadership across luxury and relevant consumer businesses. The talent market may be domestic or international. We agree the role, reporting relationships and commercial objectives before deciding where to search.
Why London matters to luxury leadership
London is both our home and one of the world’s genuine luxury capitals — a global retail destination, a centre of creative and design talent, and the European hub for private wealth, family offices and international capital. It is where luxury, finance and culture converge.
For leadership search, London’s significance is twofold: it is a major market in its own right, and it is a crossroads through which much of the world’s senior luxury and consumer talent passes. Being based here, with deep local relationships, is a real advantage.
Who we serve from London
Our London and UK mandates span the full luxury economy:
- Luxury and premium consumer brands headquartered or operating in the UK
- Family offices, private offices and UHNW principals based in London
- Investors and private equity with luxury and consumer portfolios
- International houses building or strengthening UK and European leadership
- Founder-led and privately owned luxury businesses
A London base, a global search
Although London is our home, our searches are rarely confined to it. From here we conduct mandates across Europe, the Middle East, the United States and Asia — sourcing the strongest leader wherever they are, and bringing them to a London-based or UK business, or vice versa.
Defining this mandate
For UK appointments, define the company’s ownership, operating footprint and leadership responsibilities. London may be the base for a domestic business, international headquarters or private office; each calls for a different search.
How retained search worksFrequently asked
Do you search for roles outside London?
Yes. The UK brief determines location and travel requirements. Relevant candidates may be elsewhere in the UK or internationally.
Can a London-based role have a global remit?
Yes. Define the markets, stakeholders and decisions the executive will own rather than assuming the headquarters location describes the role.
Where is the practice based?
Luxury Executive is based in London and conducts retained search for UK and international appointments.
