Alice Bradley
Chief Transition Officer
Alice has over 20 years experience in the executive search industry, an industry that enables the transition of executive talent globally, impacting economies and lives. The teams philosophy is to build relationships that goes beyond the search. With an industry centred on people, they understand that with the highs come the lows, they have supported and mentored hundreds of executives during one of the most challenging times in their lives.
Eight years ago they started to look deeply into how they could help executives in transition. Mark was continuously taking the initial impact of pain told by executives who were sharing their cold experiences caused by the rejection of the search world, and so they made it their mission to change that perception, and developed various models, strategies, partnered with external resources to truly harness all the foundations of what transition meant.

Testimonials
"I was introduced to Alice after I sold my company which I had owned and operated for almost 4 decades. I was never concerned with my personal brand as my focus was always on driving the business forward and promoting our value proposition. Alice and her team walked me through the principles of personal branding and played an integral role in getting my CV properly formatted and my LinkedIn profile updated. I’m now in a much improved position to move forward with my goal of accepting Board of Director opportunities."
