EXECUTIVE SEARCH AND HEADHUNTING · FINANCE, BANKING & INSURANCE LEADERSHIP

Executive search and headhunting in finance, banking and insurance

The roles that carry numbers, risk and trust.

Aligned Partners provides executive search and headhunting in Belgium for financial leadership: CFO, finance director, controlling, risk and compliance, and for leaders at banks, insurers and brokers.

Financial leaders are needed in every sector: in industrial and service-based organisations, in retail, technology, healthcare and the public sector. The question is always the same: who can carry the numbers and hold their own at the executive table?

Across Belgium we search for CFOs, finance directors, business controllers and roles in risk, compliance and audit.

Banking and insurance is a domain of its own, with two movements that call for leadership today.

The first is consolidation in insurance distribution. Broker groups and platforms grow through acquisitions and then need a branch director, a commercial director or someone to lead the integration. The commercial roles that carry the client relationship belong here too: head of distribution, agency directors, private bankers and senior private bankers.

The second is the roles under supervision at banks, insurers and asset managers: compliance, risk, actuarial and audit. There a candidate is not only hired but also approved, by the board and by the regulator. That is the conversation we are in.

Executive search gives that search its structure, headhunting gives it reach. The strongest finance profiles rarely apply. Those are the people we approach directly.

We fill these roles through executive search and headhunting, and temporarily through interim management.
