About Us

Business decisions are a core part of every senior executive’s remit and no one can absolve the executive from that responsibility. Senior executives and decisions go hand in hand.

Why, then, is business decision making almost entirely absent from the executive recruiting conversation, as well as the global Executive Search industry’s approach to helping companies hire executive leaders?

At Kingsley Gate, it's not only present, it’s front and center.

We believe

Decision making is the cornerstone of what senior executives are asked to do, spanning strategy, implementation, leadership, change management, and more
Organizations can become great at decision making over time and hiring top-tier leaders from the outside can accelerate that journey 
Assessing an executive’s decision-making experience, potential, and style is the optimal way to find the best fit for the role, the team, and the organization
