Bentley Lewis

Bentley Lewis is an executive search and talent advisory firm founded in 2010 that specialises in identifying and placing senior leaders who shape organisational strategy and performance. The company operates through three core service lines: executive search for board-level and senior leadership positions across all corporate functions, talent advisory encompassing leadership assessment and succession planning, and AI deployment advisory for organisations navigating the agentic era. Led by founder and CEO Lewis Maleh, Bentley Lewis combines human judgment with AI-supported market intelligence to identify leaders who aren't actively on the market, delivering placements that succeed and remain in position long-term.

Bentley Lewis serves five primary sectors with deep specialist networks: financial services including banking, insurance, asset management and fintech; technology encompassing software, data and platform businesses; life sciences covering pharma, biotech, medtech and healthcare services; industrials spanning engineering, manufacturing, energy and infrastructure; and consumer including brands, retail and consumer businesses. The firm places senior appointments across functional expertise including board chairs and non-executive directors, CEOs and succession candidates, commercial leaders such as CROs and CCOs, corporate functions including CFOs and CHROs, and technology and digital leaders such as CTOs and CPOs.

Bentley Lewis operates globally across 40+ countries with local executive search consultants in 11 key cities, combining powerful global networks with deep local market insight. The company is a member of ENEX, a global network of independent executive search firms, and a strategic partner of TATE Leadership Consulting across India and Asia Pacific. Clients choose Bentley Lewis for its commitment to accountability beyond the offer stage, cultural fluency across international markets, and a process tailored to each organisation's strategy, culture and long-term leadership needs.
