Bernard is the Managing Partner of TRANSEARCH’s UK business, a key search partner of Satori. He brings over twenty-five years of delivering Board and senior level executive search mandates for clients in high-value advanced engineering sectors, including defence, aerospace, transportation, nuclear and support services.
His early career in competitive intelligence and due diligence, gave way to executive search in the mid-1990s, with large multinational search firms such as Heidrick & Struggles and Odgers Berndtson, as well as specialist boutiques.
As the Global Industry Practice Leader at TRANSEARCH, Bernard focuses on structured and effective key account management and the development of deep, long term client relationships, which underpins success in the form of high-quality outcomes. This often involves cross-border mobility and introducing appointed candidates into complex multi-country reporting structures.
Alongside his larger multinational clients, Bernard provides support to smaller and mid-cap companies across the UK. More often than not, headquartered away from London, these businesses also have their unique challenges, including cultural and geographical. Succession at the top of smaller businesses can carry a disproportionate risk.
Getting it right first time is the number one priority.
Bernard is an Engineering Graduate and spent his early career in Brussels, before moving back to the UK in 1994. He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a fluent French speaker.
