What We Do - Executive Search, Leadership Evaluation & Advisory Support

DRAX is a strategic leadership specialist for private equity, across executive search, leadership development and deal advisory. We advise and deliver leadership insights, leadership development and leadership change. We provide support to our clients, both private equity houses and private equity backed businesses to maximise each leadership team so they can increase the fullest value of their business.

We are absorbed by every part of the private equity life cycle and the various people it touches, and we support our clients throughout the deal life cycle. Our experience spans two decades of assisting leadership teams in achieving their full potential. Our work is underpinned by our own unique proprietary insight’s platform, and our findings provide actual leadership analysis to private equity firms and backed enterprises. We have extensive pre-and post-deal experience, as well as the intellectual property of our leadership analysis platform.

We cover everything from talent and insights to deal advisory, providing a best-in-class service to both private equity houses and private equity backed businesses. DRAX offers a solution that allows us to put clients and prospects at the centre of all we do. We've built a proprietary leadership platform to support the services, as well as a product called Leadership Dynamics, which can be used by DRAX or by customers on its own.

Headhunting is a minor part of what is necessary when changing the leadership team in private equity-backed enterprises, in addition to the support we provide our clients when considering leadership transition. Our work is underpinned by our own unique insight’s platform, which is made more impactful by collaborating directly with our clients and leveraging their contextual knowledge and professional expertise.

DRAX confidently provides unrivalled expertise to our clients, by evaluating the needs within leadership teams. With the support of its leadership capital analytics platform, DRAX will evaluate an existing leadership structure, benchmark leadership abilities and team against its competitors and provide a gap analysis of opportunity throughout the business, not only does this empower investors and management teams but it also delivers a unique solution to placing extraordinary leaders within the right teams. Each assignment has its own challenges and it’s not one size fits all.

We believe that leadership in management teams ultimately follows that of the natural world.  Elephants, who are among the most intelligent animals we share the planet with, have a highly developed & sophisticated leadership structure honed through thousands of years of evolution.

They are majestic, powerful & nurturing of their extended families not unlike the majority of growing organisations.  Unfortunately they are hugely threatened & Drax is proud to support Save the Elephants as one of its nominated charities.
