Vanessa Moon, Founding Director
Welcome to Moon Executive Search.
Since our formation in June 2000, we have developed three core operating divisions - our core Executive Search model, our Charity Practice and our IT Solutions division. These three key divisions are all distinctively different in their specialist approach but are joined by our underlying principles of fairness and equity.
Our Executive Search division is led by Vanessa Moon and Simon Quinn and oversees high-level board and strategic leadership appointments, including tactical board builds for growth and transformation. Roles typically cover all C-Suite roles as well as Non-Exec appointments with instructions taken both in the UK and Internationally. These search campaigns will involve detailed research, operate under a Non-Disclosure Agreement and cover roles which are created by new markets, new acquisitions and board changes. Our impressive client base includes FTSE, Listed Plc’s, PE & VC portfolio businesses and SME, Start-up and owner-managed entities.
Our Charity Practice division is led by Sandy Hinks and she has worked closely with a range of Charitable Trusts, Community Interest Companies, Not-for-Profit organisations and Community Foundations, both in the South-West region and on a national basis. With significant experience of headhunting for Chair roles, Trustees, and CEO/CFO roles having successfully helped several different charities within the region, building their boards with high-quality candidates.
Our Technology and IT services division is led by Gemma Wilks. Focusing on both technical and management roles across the UKs tech industry. Experienced in working with SME’s through to Global clients, who have needed to source talent with specific skillsets and cutting-edge technical knowledge, in support, implementation and leadership posts to ensure they stay ahead of their game. Gemma has a successful history of completing multiple search and selection campaigns, including IT Project Managers, Solution Engineers, Software Consultants, Cloud Architects, Unified Communications Engineers, Senior Management, Account Management, and Team Lead roles as well as IT support (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th line).
We are proud of the work we do, and we would love the opportunity to connect with you and welcome you to feel the strength of the Moon’s gravitational pull!
