ABOUT US
Mycelium Search is a founder-led executive search partner specialising in senior and executive leaders for brand-led organisations navigating complexity, scale or transformation. We believe leadership success isn’t defined by titles or sector familiarity - it’s shaped by capability, adaptability and the environment a leader steps into.
Like the mycelium networks that inspire our name, we work beneath the surface- mapping the real ecosystem, interdependencies and pressures that define a role. From this ground truth, we identify future-fit leaders with the breadth and resilience to thrive in fast-changing conditions and drive long-term impact.
Our approach is zero-based, high-touch and crafted end-to-end. We partner closely with brand-led businesses to build the foundations for sustainable leadership success and to deliver the right leaders- NOT just the familiar ones.
