PASSION FOR PEOPLE
DRIVEN BY PURPOSE
Your partners in purpose
Philanthrope is an executive search firm and leadership advisory co-operative.
We work with purpose-driven businesses and responsible investors to appoint leaders who are not only highly capable, but also aligned with values, culture, and strategic direction.
Executive search, evaluation, and advisory
We support values-led organisations through leadership transitions, board development, and succession planning.
From Chief Financial Officers to Non-Executive Directors, we help organisations appoint leaders who understand both the role and the wider context.
We draw on behavioural insight, inclusive practice, and structured evaluation to support high-quality leadership decisions. Our work goes beyond credentials, focusing on potential, alignment, and the demands of the scenario.

Passion for people
Leadership demands more than technical competence or sector experience. It requires the ability to understand context, build trust, and lead with purpose over the long term. At Philanthrope, we take a considered and collaborative approach to search and advisory.
As a cooperative, we are structured for shared success. We align incentives with outcomes, invest in long-term partnerships, and apply behavioural insight to unlock value and mitigate risk to help organisations make confident and well-informed leadership decisions.

Investing in shared success
Philanthrope is independent and structured as a co-operative. This means our clients are genuine partners in a model built on transparency, shared accountability, and long-term alignment.
Our approach is reinforced by a performance-based fee model, a guarantee on placements, and annual profit sharing for contributing clients. These mechanisms ensure that trust, outcomes, and accountability go hand in hand.
We partner with purpose-led businesses and impact-focused investors across the UK. We also provide pro bono support for trustee appointments within the non-profit sector.
