Executive search and leadership advisory for organisations enabling connectivity, digital access, and innovation
Supporting organisations across Technology, where great leadership turns innovation into growth
Across software, digital, fintech, AI, and emerging technologies, we've helped organisations appoint leaders who scale businesses and drive innovation.
Technology is changing how people connect, access services, manage finances, and do business. In emerging and growth markets, the pace of disruption is particularly acute. Telecoms operators are under pressure to evolve in response to competition from challengers outside the traditional sector, the rise of mobile technology, and shifting regulatory expectations.
Innovative leaders with the vision and capability to navigate that complexity are in high demand and short supply.
We've spent two decades supporting technology organisations across emerging and growth markets through periods of growth, transformation, and leadership change.

Rigorous assessment and insight beyond CVs
I felt you immersed yourself in my shoes - absorbed what we needed and then helped us find the talent that was necessary. With bigger firms, you feel like one client among many. With Millar Cameron, I felt they had the time and space to really hear me. They punched above their weight in all areas, with strong results to show.
Our partnership with Millar Cameron has consistently delivered exceptional leadership talent that is driving transformational organization impact. They don't just fill roles, they invest time understanding our strategic direction and culture. What sets Millar Cameron apart is their collaborative, flexible approach, and genuine commitment to finding the right fit, not just the fastest placement. Their responsiveness and ability to work within our existing processes has made them trusted advisors in our leadership development strategy.
Two things differentiated Millar Cameron from other search firms. First, from the outset they invested time to deeply understand our organisation and our needs. These conversations helped shape our own thinking, and the resulting brief for the role was better than anything we could have written ourselves. Second, their candidate research and due diligence was exceptional. We were expecting a list of great candidates with CVs. What we received was a detailed, comprehensive summary of each candidate that aided and accelerated our search process.
Our team had a great experience working with Millar Cameron through a challenging search. They are knowledgeable about the market, provided strong candidates and led a very smooth process from end to end.

Millar Cameron connected us with outstanding local talent in two African markets - individuals we likely would never have discovered on our own. Their deep understanding of the leadership landscape across mission-driven institutions and sectors was invaluable. The process was seamless from start to finish, and the quality of candidates was excellent. We would gladly work with them again.
We have worked with Millar Cameron on several occasions for senior expert roles, group, and executive-level positions. We engaged with them on an executive search process to support our hire of a Group General Counsel & Head Corporate Affairs. They provided a strong partnership for the search, demonstrating extensive market knowledge and key process management.
We all receive countless messages from recruitment agencies on LinkedIn, but one in particular truly caught my attention. I decided to reply, and from that moment on, everything moved forward in an exceptionally smooth and professional way. The process was clear, efficient, and refreshingly human. That is how I met Millar Cameron, an encounter that became a key turning point in the success of my career.
The Millar Cameron team not only identified exceptional candidates from a range of (often unique) backgrounds, but were also able to pre-empt the strengths and concerns we would see in each candidate, and act as a thought partner throughout the decision making process.
Millar Cameron efficiently sourced a shortlist of excellent candidates whose profiles were closely aligned with our requirements, and played a critical role in the onboarding of the preferred individual.

IFU had a mandate to nominate two board members as part of its investments and decided to go for external NEDs. We selected Millar Cameron due to a combination of reputation and relationship.

I would be extremely happy to work with Millar Cameron again.
Outsourcing to Millar Cameron became an easy decision for us here at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. We found them to be incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, thorough and professional. They clearly outlined their recruitment strategy, methodologies and delivered within the agreed timeframes.
