Executive Search
At 3Qetc, we understand that exceptional leadership is the foundation of organisational success.
Our executive search team has worked together for more than two decades, building trusted relationships and deep sector knowledge that consistently deliver results.
Drawing on Richard Attrill’s global experience in financial markets - across Europe, Asia, and North America - we bring a unique perspective to Executive Search.
We combine international expertise with a focus on culture, trust, and performance to identify leaders who create lasting impact.
Our Executive Search practice is designed for organisations seeking transformational leaders - C-suite executives, senior leaders, and board members - who can navigate complexity, drive innovation, and deliver sustainable growth.
Our Executive Search Process:
Discovery & alignment
Defining role requirements, success criteria, and cultural fit.
Research & mapping
Using market intelligence and networks to identify a diverse slate of candidates.
Evaluation & engagement
Assessing not only experience but also values, resilience, and leadership style.
Selection & onboarding
Supporting leaders beyond placement with transition and coaching to ensure long-term success.
Why 3Qetc?
Global financial expertise
Richard’s background leading high-performing teams in risk trading, advisory, quant, and sales informs our ability to identify leaders who thrive in demanding, high-stakes environments.Evidence-based approach
Every search is grounded in data. Using 3Qetc’s frameworks and insights from leadership studies across industries, we align candidates with organisational goals and strategy.
Leadership insight beyond search
We go beyond finding leaders. Our coaching, mentoring, and leadership programs give us deep insight into what effective leadership looks like in practice. Through our work with more than 400 executives between 2022 and 2025, we identified the traits needed to build high-performing teams and uncovered common blind spots. This perspective helps us select candidates who can evolve into sustainable, authentic leaders.
Tailored solutions
Every organisation is different. We work closely with you to understand your culture, strategy, and future vision - ensuring the right leadership fit.
Global network reach
Our extensive connections across financial services, corporates, sovereign wealth funds, private equity, and investment communities allow us to access exceptional, often hard-to-reach talent.
