Board, C-Suite & Senior Investment Leadership

Board and NED appointments, CIO and CEO search, and senior investment, distribution and product leadership across private markets, insurance, pension, sovereign wealth and institutional asset management platforms globally.

Senior leadership search in institutional investment is a different discipline from generalist executive search. It requires an understanding of governance structures, capital allocation mandates, and the specific track record that boards and investment committees are actually screening for — not just a network of resumes.

KeenanMatthews runs search mandates the way an operator would run them: informed by direct experience sitting on the other side of the table, on boards and in the CIO seat, across insurance, pension, endowment and sovereign wealth platforms.

Mandate Coverage

• Board & NED appointments — governance-first candidate assessment for boards navigating regulatory, fiduciary and market complexity.
• CIO & CEO search — senior investment leadership across insurance general accounts, pension platforms and institutional asset managers.
• Senior investment, distribution & product leadership — private markets, insurance-linked strategies, and institutional distribution roles.
• Succession & bench planning — proactive mapping of senior investment talent ahead of a live vacancy.

Boards & Institutional Platforms

Boards, investment committees and executive teams across insurance, pension, endowment, sovereign wealth and institutional asset management platforms — anywhere a senior investment or governance hire carries real consequence for the organization's capital allocation and risk posture.
