Chief Operations Officers
As organisations become more complex and technology opens up new markets, the role of Chief Operations Officer (COO) has never been more vital. With responsibility for day-to-day operations, COOs are key to shaping strategy, driving efficiency, and ensuring alignment across functions.
At Saxton Bampfylde, we have extensive experience placing top-tier COOs, drawing on our cross-functional expertise to identify diverse leaders who excel in managing HR, finance, communications, and stakeholder collaboration. We connect organisations with exceptional talent to drive operational success in an increasingly dynamic business landscape.
Chief Finance Officers
Senior finance leaders must combine strategic insight with a strong track record of driving impact. With increasing emphasis on risk management and regulatory compliance, trusted financial leadership is critical.
Saxton Bampfylde’s proven approach identifies top senior finance professionals, from CFOs and finance directors to treasurers and investor relations executives. We have extensive experience across functions such as capital markets, governance, M&A, tax, risk, and decision support, ensuring we find the right leaders to meet the unique needs of our clients. We also support the recruitment of qualified financial experts for Board and non-executive roles, as well as Bursars for Schools.
Heads of Regulation & Strategy
The regulatory landscape is expanding in both complexity and scope, with senior leaders at the forefront of driving change and innovation. These roles demand high-quality, creative, and diverse candidates who possess the technical expertise and strategic mindset to navigate this evolving environment.
Saxton Bampfylde’s regulation and strategy practice leverages an extensive network across both commercial and public sectors to identify exceptional leaders. We have successfully placed Heads of Regulation & Strategy, from senior executives to specialist policy leaders, for FTSE 100 companies, government regulators, professional bodies, and financial services institutions.

Chief Digital Officers
Digital technology is now essential in shaping modern businesses, driving connectivity, communication, and operational continuity. As data aggregation, automation, and AI become integral to daily operations, the role of Chief Digital Officer (CDO) has become a cornerstone of the executive team.
Saxton Bampfylde excels in identifying top digital talent who can lead and sustain continuous transformation, aligning digital strategies with company goals. Our broad sector expertise enables us to place CDOs who can thrive across industries, working with CEOs and Boards to advance digital strategy, or leading specialised digital initiatives in sectors with emerging needs.
