Miramar Global

What Miramar Global does

Miramar Global Holdings Ltd (operating as Miramar Executive Search) is a privately-held UK executive search firm founded in 2009, headquartered in Richmond/London with offices in Philadelphia, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The firm provides retained executive search services focused exclusively on C-suite, board-level, and senior leadership placements across eight specialized verticals: Automotive, Chemicals, Diversified Industrials, Energy, Food & Beverage, Life Sciences, Medical Technology, Technology & Communications, and Private Equity. Its core products are Executive Search, Executive Assessments, CEO & Board Search, Talent Pipelining, Market Research & Mapping, Positive Outplacement, and Leadership Integration, delivered through an enterprise field-sales model where Managing Partners personally lead each engagement.

The business operates a pure professional services revenue model, with quote-based, project-specific retainers (no public pricing or standard tiers) and multi-year client relationships. Revenue is generated per engagement rather than via subscription or volume pricing. The firm extends its core offering through two wholly-owned sub-brands: Deepsky (leadership consulting, coaching, and peer learning) and RISE (a personal development platform for executives). An internal proprietary database platform provides clients visibility into search progress but is positioned as a workflow tool rather than a differentiated technology asset. Miramar is ISO 27001 certified and serves a blue-chip enterprise client roster that includes CARIAD, LivaNova, Harman, Saputo, Cargill, General Mills, Danone, Heineken, Abbott, BD, Medtronic, Siemens Healthineers, Baker Hughes, Vitol, and PE firms including MiddleGround Capital, American Industrial Partners, HIG Capital, and KPS Capital Partners.

The firm employs 11-50 people globally (no disclosed headcount or revenue), is registered in England and Wales (company number 10966667), and has no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity. The senior team comprises three Managing Partners (Ross Bailey as Co-Founder leading MEA and global technology practice, John R. Hodge leading the Americas, Julian Horne leading industrial/PE practice) plus additional Partners, Principals, and Associate Partners covering sector specializations across all major regions.
