Renewable Energy Executive Search

Leadership that accelerates EBITDA, compresses time to value, and increases exit multiples

In renewable energy, capital is rarely the constraint.
Execution capability is.

Executive Integrity is a B Corp Certified™ executive search and leadership advisory firm specialising in private capital–backed renewable energy and energy transition businesses.

We partner with investors, boards, and executive teams to treat leadership as a controllable lever for returns — not a recruitment exercise.

Our mandate is simple:
faster execution, de-risked growth, and premium exits

Why leadership matters in renewable energy

Renewable platforms succeed or fail on their ability to execute at speed under complexity.

Leadership quality directly impacts:

  • EBITDA growth
  • Execution risk
  • Time to value
  • Exit multiple

As portfolios scale, leadership misalignment, capability gaps, or delayed upgrades quickly become value destroyers. Our role is to reduce those risks by appointing leaders with proven experience operating in capital-intensive, regulated, and fast-scaling environments

Who we work with

We work where leadership quality has a direct and measurable impact on outcomes.

Capital partners

  • Private Equity & Growth Equity
  • Infrastructure & Energy Transition Funds
  • Family Offices & Strategic Capital

Typical situations

  • Platform investments
  • Buy-and-build strategies
  • Carve-outs and spin-offs
  • Underperforming or complex assets

These are moments where the cost of a wrong hire is existential

Where we play

We operate across the core sectors of the energy transition, combining deep sector knowledge with PE-grade leadership assessment:

  • Solar (utility-scale, C&I, IPP platforms)
  • Wind (onshore and offshore)
  • Energy Storage (BESS and hybrid assets)
  • Hydrogen (green, blue, infrastructure and services)
  • Alternative fuels (biofuels, e-fuels, ammonia)
  • Grid & networks (transmission, distribution, flexibility)
  • Energy services (O&M, asset management, engineering)
  • Energy & climate software (SaaS, optimisation, analytics)
