Financial Services

The Impact Executives financial services practice has spent nearly two decades attracting and selecting talented individuals for interim board, executive and specialist appointments. During this time, we have developed an intricate knowledge of the retail, investment banking, asset management and insurance sectors.

Competition between and among banks and other financial organisations to sell products with similar features is fierce. Call centres are a central feature of the market, providing customer advice and cross-selling of products. This requires sophisticated client-facing skills and the need for qualifications, particularly those recognised by the FSA.

Financial services companies turn to Impact Executives for world-class interim talent. To excel in this fast-paced, intense environment, companies require skilled business leaders who understand the dynamics of global finance. They require the confidence to anticipate and mandate change, and possess the vision to recognise emerging opportunities.

War for talent

The need for superior interim resourcing is escalating. Banks, building societies, insurance companies, hedge funds, and private equity organisations are converging, forming massive multi-functional enterprises that demand highly skilled interim specialists.

The competitive landscape in the financial services industry, together with the existing "war for talent" emphasises the importance of leadership and management skills in corporations.

We have more than 1,000 senior level interim managers available, with experience in financial services. They are knowledgeable in key factors critical to many companies, including product management, alternative investments, offshore operations, risk and capital management, and governance.

Impact Executives is at the crossroads of these trends, leading the charge to find the leaders who will define and shape this vital field for the future.

Our consultants' in-depth knowledge, together with access to the world's leading financial talent acquired during years of senior-level executive experience in the industry, is the foundation of our excellent results.
