Solutions · Executive Placement
Executive search for cybersecurity, IT, and AI leadership.
A missed leadership hire sets a security program back years. We run retained, confidential searches for CISO, CIO, CTO, CAIO, VP, and Director mandates, built on private networks and direct access to passive candidates who are not applying anywhere.
Mandates we run
The seats where a miss costs the most.
Every search is led by senior staff with 15+ years in these markets, so the calibration conversation starts at depth, and the shortlist reflects it.
CISO Search
Security leaders who can hold the board’s confidence and the team’s respect. Enterprise, product, and first-CISO mandates, including confidential replacements.
CIO Search
Technology executives for modernization, integration, and scale, hired for the roadmap ahead of them rather than the one behind them.
CTO Search
Builders who can own architecture, platform, and engineering culture through transformation, and keep shipping while they do it.
CAIO & AI Leadership
The newest seat at the table. CAIO and Head of AI mandates for enterprises formalizing the function, with governance and security built into the brief.
VP & Director Level
The operating layer beneath the C-suite: VP Security, Director of IAM, GRC, and infrastructure leadership. The hires that decide whether strategy actually lands.
Interim & Board Advisory
Interim leadership to hold the line through a transition, and board-facing advisors for oversight, diligence, and transformation programs.
How a search runs
Confidential from the first call.
Our executive searches close in 42 to 51 days on average because the work starts before the engagement does. The networks are already built, and the strongest candidates already know us.

Brief and calibration
We sit with the hiring leader, and where relevant the board, to define the mandate: scope, stage, reporting lines, and what a miss would cost. Confidentiality terms are set here, before any name enters the market.
-
Market map and direct approach
The strongest candidates are employed, delivering, and not reading job boards, so we go to them. Two decades of private networks across cyber, IT, and AI mean the first conversation is warm, not cold.

Triton-vetted shortlist
Every finalist clears our proprietary Triton Vetting Process, refined over 20+ years, before you meet them. You interview a shortlist, never a pipeline.
