THE RESULTS…

Wilbury Stratton provides an innovative and disruptive solution which combines Executive Research and Search methodologies to deliver market intelligence and talent to our clients. As part of a two-stage research process, Wilbury Stratton initially mapped 176 high-performing AI professionals, before refining this to a shortlist of 10 standout candidates.

Partnering closely with the bank’s Executive Talent Acquisition team, we facilitated an extensive vetting process, leading to eight first-round interviews. The project concluded successfully with the placement of our client’s preferred candidate – an experienced Group Managing Director from a competitor. Additionally, our comprehensive talent mapping ensures the bank can strategically pipeline future AI leadership talent, strengthening their long-term succession planning.
