We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Executives in Africa, one of the continent’s leading executive search firms, specialising in board appointments, C-suite placements, and senior leadership roles across Africa.
With a network of over 140,000 professionals and a strong track record of placing senior leaders across industries, they have built expertise in not just identifying talent but positioning leaders where decisions are made and impact is shaped.
Through this partnership, we are creating a direct, high-value pipeline between Ascent Club members and the executive search process, giving senior female executives greater access to board and C-suite opportunities aligned with their experience and ambitions.
About Executives in Africa
Executives in Africa is a specialist executive search firm that has been making an impact since 2010. The firm focuses on board appointments, C-suite placements, and senior leadership roles across Africa, serving clients across multiple sectors including Financial Services, FMCG, Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Oil and Gas.
What This Partnership Means for Members
As part of this collaboration, all Ascent Club members will have the opportunity to have their CVs added to the Executives in Africa recruitment database, increasing their visibility to organisations actively seeking experienced executive and board-level talent across Africa.
Also, to mark the launch of this partnership, we will host Sarah FitzMorris, Co-Founder and Director at Executives in Africa, for a closed-door masterclass as part of our ongoing Masterclass Series. Sarah brings over 30 years of experience in executive and board search, and professional recruitment. Her sectoral expertise spans Financial Services, FMCG, Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Oil and Gas.
In addition, the Ascent Club community will receive direct visibility into relevant C-suite and Non-Executive Director (NED) opportunities as they arise.
Exclusive Masterclass: CV Strategy and Interview Readiness
The masterclass session, titled “CV Strategy and Interview Readiness”, is designed specifically for board-ready female executives within the Ascent Club community. Sarah will share practical insights on positioning your CV for senior-level roles and approaching board-level interviews with confidence and clarity.
Following the session, members will be able to submit their CVs directly to Sarah for registration with the Executives in Africa database.
Why This Partnership Matters
We are deliberate about who we bring into the Ascent Club ecosystem. Every partnership, every speaker, every resource is chosen with one question in mind: does this move our members closer to where they are going?
Executives in Africa answered that question clearly. They have been placing Africa’s senior leadership for over a decade, and they are committed to ensuring that exceptional women are visible in that process. This partnership gives our members a direct seat at that table.
If you have been doing the work, this is your moment to be seen.
