Executive Search

Executive Search for Leadership Roles in Games

Executive Search is part of Amiqus’ Specialist Talent Search capability, focused on leadership and board-level appointments.


These roles often require confidential search, targeted industry engagement and access to senior leaders who may not be actively looking for new positions.


We work closely with boards and leadership teams across the games industry and wider interactive entertainment ecosystem to identify leaders who can shape the direction and performance of organisations.

Our Executive Search practice is led by Stig Strand.


Stig works with boards and leadership teams to define senior roles and identify leaders who can deliver meaningful impact.


Since launching the dedicated Executive Search function in 2019, the team has supported leadership appointments across roles including CEO, CFO, CMO, COO, CTO, HRD and CIO.๏ปฟ
