Problem

BookFlowGo required a Director of Data to lead a complex, group-wide data agenda. The role demanded an exceptional data and mathematical capability, alongside proven leadership and the credibility to engage confidently with C-suite stakeholders. The organisation was also operating in a fast-moving environment shaped by acquisition and the integration of large, complex datasets.

Solution

JP Search conducted a deep, market-wide search, considering both sector specialists and high-calibre candidates from adjacent industries. The focus was on identifying an individual able to operate at Group level while navigating constant change, driving alignment, and building trust across diverse internal and external stakeholder groups.

Outcome

A tightly curated shortlist of engaged, senior data leaders was delivered, resulting in a successful appointment within six weeks, providing the client with the leadership required to unify data strategy and support ongoing growth and transformation.

“This search required a rare combination of deep technical authority, commercial awareness, and emotional intelligence. The successful candidate needed to influence at board level while bringing people with them on a complex transformation journey. By taking a broad yet forensic view of the market, we were able to secure a leader capable of making an immediate and lasting impact.”
