“It’s that chemistry and the ability to do it at pace that made the real difference.”
With these words, James Priestley, CEO of Enva, captured the essence of his experience partnering with Russam on a critical leadership appointment.

In today’s dynamic environment, organisations seeking to strengthen their leadership or governance need more than a strong CV. Success depends on understanding the organisation’s culture, ambitions and challenges — and matching them with individuals who can drive lasting impact. Leadership recruitment is never just a process; it is a pivotal human decision.

At Russam, this is where we excel.

James emphasised the value of working with a partner who takes the time to understand both client and candidate, draws on a trusted and far-reaching network, and delivers with the agility modern organisations expect. This blend of deep insight, genuine chemistry and decisive pace is what consistently sets our approach apart — and what helps our clients secure leaders who truly fit, perform and stay.

Whether you are planning a key strategic appointment, strengthening leadership resilience, or enhancing governance capability, our team is here to help you find the people who will shape the future of your organisation.
