Practices
The Norven Thesis

Eighteen years of placing C-suite leaders across auction houses, luxury brands, family offices, and sovereign wealth produced something beyond a search practice: a deep understanding of how power moves — who governs, who advises, and who is trusted when the stakes are highest.

London_
Regulatory architecture. Institutional governance. The deepest concentration of family office capital outside the Gulf.
Dubai_
Sovereign wealth. Cross-border capital. The regulatory bridge between Western compliance and Gulf-state ambition — from DIFC to ADGM.

Advisory

De-risking the consequential.

Two decades of senior relationships across luxury, finance, PE, and sovereign wealth. We advise on the decisions that principals cannot delegate — grounded in current knowledge, not generic frameworks. Advisory relationships extending across North America and Asia-Pacific.

M&A & Transactions
Buy-side, sell-side, structuring, counterparty assessment, and post-transaction leadership.
Family Office & Wealth
Investment governance, succession, and next-generation transition for UHNW families.
Board & Governance
Composition, NED selection, and chair-level advisory during ownership transitions and critical inflection points.
Capital Introductions
Institutional, family office, sovereign. Relationships, not process.
Executive Search & Transitions
C-suite and board placements. Team design for scaling, new markets, and ownership change.
Dispute & Resolution
Complex cross-border commercial disputes across the GCC and UK. Discretion and access.

In His Words

"The decisions that define the next decade require architecture that already exists — not advice to go build it."

Over 18 years advising across the luxury sector, auction houses, family offices, and sovereign wealth. Two specialist executive search firms — Luxury Recruit and Metier Group — with C-suite placements spanning LVMH, Kering, Richemont, CHANEL, Chopard, Moussaieff, Mannai Corporation, and AMAN.

A global advisory practice spanning the City of London, the GCC, sub-Saharan Africa, North America, and Asia-Pacific. The relationships built over two decades of leadership placements now inform every advisory engagement — grounded in current, specific knowledge of the people and institutions that matter.

Origin

A council flat in Hackney. A grant from The King's Trust at 18. A single intervention that changed everything. Every business in this Group is a response to that moment.
