Executive Search and Fractional Leadership

Find Technology leadership that transforms.

Full-time, freelance and fractional. By the people who understand the ecosystem

The wrong CTO costs you a year. The wrong CISO could cost you far more. At executive level, leadership means more than capability. It’s vision, cultural fit and the ability to lead transformation in an AI-driven market.

Our Executive Search finds technology leaders who change trajectory, not just fill roles.

For organizations that need senior direction without a full-time hire, we also source and place seasoned technology chiefs as fractional leaders, providing embedded, board-grade leadership for a few days a month. Ideal for PE portfolios, scale-ups and regulated mid-market businesses that need senior direction now.

The roles are converging

CIOs now carry an average of 1.8 leadership mandates (Foundry, 2025), and analysts expect AI and data responsibilities to become part of a broader CIO or CTO remit.

We help organizations hire leaders with the blended technology, data and AI expertise needed to match where leadership roles are moving next.

Why companies choose Tenth Revolution Group for senior technology hires

Most executive search firms are generalists who happen to do technology, but we're technology specialists who happen to do executive search.

That distinction matters because the difference between a good CTO hire and a great one is often the recruiter’s ability to assess technical depth alongside leadership capability.

Our executive search consultants operate within specific technology ecosystems, the same ecosystems where we’ve placed thousands of mid-level and senior professionals over two decades. We know the talent pool, who’s performing, who’s ready to step up and have relationships that generalist headhunters simply don’t have.

We also bring data with our Careers and Hiring Guides that cover salary expectations, availability and hiring trends across 20+ countries and 8 ecosystems.

Ecosystem depth

We understand the technologies your leaders will be responsible for because our teams recruit at every level within those ecosystems.

Confidential search

At this level, discretion is non-negotiable. We manage the entire process with the confidentiality that senior appointments demand, from initial mapping through to final negotiations.

Speed without compromise

Our existing relationships within technology leadership communities mean we can present a qualified shortlist in weeks, not months.

Post-placement support

We stay engaged beyond day one. Our onboarding support, 90-day check-ins and retention monitoring help ensure the leader you hire is the leader who stays.

Fractional leadership

Fractional leadership provides access to seasoned technology chiefs without the commitment or overhead of a full-time hire.

We source and place senior leaders who can provide board-grade technology direction for a few days a month, helping organizations access the experience they need with greater flexibility.
