The executive search practice of Latitude IT

Executive search built on twenty years inside tech recruitment, not around it.

When we search for a CxO's or CTO's, we're not starting from a cold network, we're starting from one built by actually working in this industry, at every level, for two decades.

01 — Why Latitude Executive

The network is the difference.

Generalist executive search firms build their network at the executive level, through other headhunters, industry events, cold outreach. Ours was built differently: twenty years of placing people inside tech companies, at every level, means a depth of relationships most exec search firms don't have access to.

The generalist way

A network assembled at the top, conference introductions, headhunter referrals, cold approaches to people who already have a title.

The Latitude way

A network built from the inside, two decades in the tech talent market, placing people at every level, long before they held the titles we search for today.

One appointment changes the shape of an engineering organisation.

A lone figure standing in a vast, empty modernist plaza.

02 — Recent searches

Specific beats voluminous.

No logo walls, no aggregate stats. Executive search is confidential work, so we'd rather show you two real searches than a hundred vague claims.

The searches we run.

For CEOs and boards hiring senior technology leaders. If the role below is the one keeping you up at night, we should talk.

01

CTO

Board-level technology leadership — the strategy, the architecture, and the team to deliver both.

02

VP Engineering

The operator who scales an engineering organisation without breaking what made it work.

03

Head of Product

Product leadership that holds its own in a deeply technical executive team.

04

Technical Co-founder Replacement

The hardest brief in tech — succeeding a founder without losing what they built.

04 — The market we work in

We don't search across every sector. We search in the one we've spent twenty years inside.

Latitude Executive is the executive search practice of Latitude IT. Same market, same relationships, a different level of appointment.
