Adamson & Partners has earned a distinguished reputation for executive search and advisory services in the digital and privacy space, specialising in identifying and securing top-tier privacy talent across a range of roles and organisational stages. As boards increasingly worry about digital and cyber risk, companies are striving to build effective, resilient, and adaptable privacy functions. When built correctly, these high-performing teams can navigate a complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape, in addition to helping protect consumer trust. With over 40 years of experience, we work with organisations at varying levels of privacy maturity, from those just beginning to bring privacy and digital in-house to those with sophisticated teams, embedding privacy and AI into product design and hiring cybersecurity lawyers to support Chief Information Security Officers.
In today’s complex environment, privacy leadership is essential. Whether companies need a Chief Privacy and Data Trust Officer, operational data protection specialists, or cybersecurity leaders, we draw upon an expansive network of highly skilled professionals with deep expertise across industries. We have a rich international track record in this space, and our niche experience enables us to advise clients on hiring strategies, where digital and privacy should sit functionally, and what local market considerations should be taken into account. Clients trust us to build and scale global privacy teams, support business-critical leadership hires, and recruit for new areas, including AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity.
At Adamson & Partners, we recognise that building and evolving a privacy function is not just about compliance; it’s about driving innovation, resilience, and trust. That’s why we offer not only executive search services but also advisory and executive coaching to ensure the lasting success of privacy leadership within your organisation.
Our clients choose us for our expertise, deep sector knowledge, and professional approach. We provide strategic insights that help clients enter new markets, identify skill gaps, and recruit privacy professionals who meet their professional requirements and align with their corporate culture.
Our executive search process focuses on proactively identifying and engaging the best talent in the market — professionals who are rarely on the open market. This targeted approach ensures that our clients gain access to the best privacy professionals without competing with their industry peers. But we know that finding you top talent with technical fit is only part of the equation. We ensure that your values and culture are critical elements of our search criteria, and this commitment to finding you the right colleagues for you and your teams results in client retention.
