Boards, promoters, and nomination committees don't hire the most qualified leader. They hire the leader whose narrative aligns with what they're trying to solve โ€” right now. Most senior leaders never learn this. Because no one on the inside tells them. I do. Over 30 years, I have sat on both sides of the table โ€” advising boards, promoters, PE investors, and nomination committees on who to hire, and guiding CEOs, CXOs, and independent directors on how to be chosen. That dual vantage point is what makes my work different from conventional career coaching. I am the Founder & CEO of Impact HR Services โ€” a retained executive search and leadership advisory firm with 7,000+ CXO-level mandates across Indian enterprises, global MNCs, and PE-backed organisations. I work discreetly with senior leaders who are navigating: โ†’ Confidential CXO / CEO transitions (โ‚น50L to multi-crore packages) โ†’ Market re-entry after exits, restructuring, or role misalignment โ†’ Board readiness and Independent Director positioning โ†’ Executive rรฉsumรฉ and LinkedIn strategy that attracts the right mandates โ†’ Interview preparation for high-stakes boardroom conversations โ†’ Compensation strategy and negotiation This is not career coaching. It is boardroom-grounded career strategy โ€” built from three decades of real hiring authority. My clients are typically SVPs, CFOs, and CXOs who are ready for the next level but don't know how to position for it. If your next move matters, let's talk privately. ๐Ÿ“ฉ prakash@impsmanagement.com
