Executive and non-Executive Updates, October 2023: MongoDB, Illumio, DUG and more

Lower levels of executive and board appointments in October echo the broader slowdown across the local economy. This slight downward trend in the executive market will likely continue as we near the end of the year and uncertainties around inflation, interest rates, supply chain resilience, and overseas geopolitical pressures persist.

Many of our clients are using these quieter months to refresh talent strategies for 2024. If you need help replacing executive or board members against a backdrop of steadily changing employee attitudes and motivations, I'm here to help.
