We have a strong relationship with Partners in Bristol through Vanessa Moon, Founding Director of Moon Executive Search and Co-opted Governor at City of Bristol College. We have successfully placed numerous candidates for the organisation, and they entrusted us once more to find a highly qualified NED to join their Board.
The Challenge
The Non-Executive Director would serve as an objective and pragmatic advisor to the PiB Board providing valuable insights and perspectives. They would bring a wealth of experience in strategic implementation and organisational growth, coupled with unwavering integrity and a passion for equity, opportunity, and education. Ideally, they would possess a media background and a deep understanding of media relations.
Our Approach
Vanessa Moon spearheaded the search, leveraging her extensive network and deep-rooted connections within the education and corporate spheres. The knowledge gained through Vanessa’s role as a Co-opted Governor at City of Bristol College proved invaluable. We were able to identify NED candidates who were not only highly qualified but also aligned with Partners in Bristol's unique organisational culture. This enabled us to propose a candidate that was guaranteed to hit the ground running.
The Solution
Our proposed candidate, Paul Parashar, joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director. His unwavering passion for education, combined with his leadership experience and remarkable history of fostering growth, distinguished him from the competition. Moreover, his extensive media expertise gained at Fox International Channels equipped him with the ability to offer invaluable guidance on company-media relations.
Joanne Ward, Chair of Partners in Bristol, commented:
‘We were thoroughly impressed with Moon's efficient and transparent search process for a Non-Executive Director. The exceptional candidate they identified surpassed our expectations, mirroring their impressive track record of success.’
