Appointing the Executive team to deliver a new kind of games. Rooted in Glasgow. Built for the Commonwealth.

The success of such a prestigious event will depend on strategic leadership capable of navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, ensuring operational excellence, and delivering an unforgettable experience on the world stage. Recognising this, the 2026 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee sought visionary leaders who could inspire teams, manage large-scale projects, and drive strategic initiatives with precision and impact. Given the time-sensitive nature of the project, it was crucial to identify the right candidates as promptly as possible.

To meet this need, we executed a comprehensive search strategy, complemented by extensive networking activities, to identify individuals with deep expertise in event management and strategic leadership. Equally important, we sought candidates who embodied the passion and vision required to deliver an extraordinary event. Our executive search process was tailored to find leaders capable of thriving in the dynamic and high-pressure environment of a global event while fostering collaboration across diverse teams and stakeholders.

We also designed and oversaw a robust assessment process allowing both internal and external stakeholders to gather the required level of assurance and confidence in each appointment.
