JD&Co is the go to Global Exec Search & Advisory firm supporting the founders, funders, and leaders of high growth disruptive tech brands. Based in the UK, we are one of Europe's leading, specialist exec search and advisory firms, building and nurturing the leadership teams for some of today’s best and brightest global tech brands, disruptive startups and scale ups, and innovative transformational companies. Working hand-in-glove with founders, funders and the board, we acquire and develop the people capability needed to hit and exceed key milestones. Truly solutions focused, JD & Co offer clear and defined products to help demystify people challenges. JD&Co is not a traditional executive search firm and never will be. Born out of sheer frustration with an outdated industry using wasteful, slow, “heads-we-win-tails-you-lose” search methodologies, we’ve replaced it with an agile, dynamic and collaborative approach designed around the needs of high-growth companies. We’re on a mission to redefine our industry and change the way businesses think about talent and people – no biggie 😅
