Executive Search for Critical Leadership Appointments
Who are we...
RSL is a boutique executive search partner specialising in senior leadership appointments for growth companies across Technology, Defence and Telecoms.
We work closely with founders, CEOs and leadership teams to appoint proven leaders across finance, operations, commercial and technology functions — where leadership quality directly impacts performance, execution and scale.
Our focus is on critical leadership hiring where judgement, trust and pace matter. These are not transactional recruitment exercises; they are strategic decisions that shape the future direction of a business.
Every assignment is led directly by Albina Kolomiets, who brings over 20 years of executive recruitment experience, alongside Michael Maltby, whose background provides deep commercial and operational perspective from working within and alongside growth-stage organisations.
Together, they combine executive search expertise with real business understanding — offering clients both strategic hiring insight and practical appreciation of the challenges involved in scaling teams and leadership capability.
RSL operates on a retained, partner-led model designed to deliver focus, discretion and accountability throughout the search process.
We believe exceptional executive search is built on clarity, trust and long-term leadership fit — not volume recruitment.
