Executive search has become a performance - big words, bigger fees and layers of process that make something straightforward look complex.
Stripped back, it should only be about experienced people talking as equals - finding work that fits a life and leaders who can truly shift a company. And yes, people aren’t straightforward; they’re layered, emotional, sometimes messy. Getting it right takes instinct, empathy and wisdom.
Wander began as a reaction to the old, corporate, stuffy way.
We took out the jargon, the ego and the waste - keeping only what matters: real conversations, honest advice and thoughtful searches that reach far beyond the usual circles.

We look across industries and borders to find the kind of leaders others overlook. We stay small so the work stays personal, accountable, transparent, and human.
There’s a place for traditional executive search - the formality, the polish, the grandeur that helps justify the price. Some people want that, and that’s fine. Wander isn’t that place. We don’t do choreography.
We don’t believe trust needs theatre. Our work is serious, but grounded in honesty, experience and genuine human connection.
If you want something more personal, more transparent and more alive than the usual ritual - that’s where we come in.
Founded and run by Richard Wilkes.
