Connecting talents, driving success.
Executive search, hand-tailored to your mandate.
Senior-led search for the roles that think the enterprise — strategy consulting, corporate strategy, transformation and M&A — across Europe, Morocco and the Middle East.
A different idea of executive search.
Executive search was never meant to be a numbers game. More profiles. More interviews. More CVs. But fewer candidates who truly fit.
We come from the environments we serve
We are former consultants, strategists, and operators. We've worked the roles we now recruit for — so we know what a CV doesn't say.
Briefs built with you, not simply received
Shorter shortlists. Every name a conviction. One mandate at a time, one senior interlocutor throughout.

What we believe.
Five convictions that shape every search.
Mis-hiring costs ten times the fee
A wrong strategic hire costs ten times the search fee in lost momentum. Yet most regional markets still treat external recruitment services as a luxury.
A wrong brief produces a wrong hire
We push back on the brief more often than our competitors — building the story with you, that's where the work starts.
The best candidates aren't looking
They're building. They have to be reached — by someone whose call they'll actually take.
At senior level, why matters more than where.
Why they joined. Why they left. What they refused. That's where the real signal hides.
Your recruiter is your reputation
Every clumsy pitch from a recruiter who doesn't understand your story reaches the candidates you actually want — and the market remembers. We protect your name as our own.
How we work.
A single sequence, run end to end by one senior interlocutor. No hand-offs.
Mandate intake
We co-build the story and the pitch with you — the narrative that moves the right candidates, not just a job description.
Augmented sourcing
AI-powered mapping of the market — coverage no manual search can match.
Senior screening
Every long-list candidate is interviewed by a senior recruiter. No junior screening. No exceptions.
Defended shortlist
Three to five names, each presented with their angle, trade-offs, and trajectory.
Onboarding support
We stay involved through offer, signing, and the first months in seat.
One mandate at a time. One senior interlocutor throughout.
Where we operate.

Hicham Boumnade · Founder
Every senior career move should be intentional, meaningful, and strategically aligned — for both the candidate and the company.
Hicham founded Nexa Partners after several years in strategy consulting and executive search. Trained in financial services advisory and operating between Paris and Casablanca, he brings a sharp understanding of the talent markets that matter to fast-moving organisations.
Top consulting and transformation practices, tech ventures hiring their first senior strategists, and corporate strategy seats at scaling businesses — these are the mandates he takes personally, one at a time.
A senior moves once or twice a decade. It should count.
If you lead strategy, consulting, transformation or M&A work, we'd value knowing you — long before there's a mandate to discuss. No databases, no spam. A conversation with someone who has done the role.
Let's find the leader your strategy needs.
One mandate at a time, one senior interlocutor throughout. Book a call to discuss the brief — not just the job description.
