Candela Search

Candela Search is an independent executive search firm founded in 2013 by Aaron Cowan and Henry Man to create a different kind of search experience. The company combines close client relationships with an approach tailored to the highly competitive market for transformational leaders, serving clients across sectors including Financial Services, Professional Services, Pharmaceuticals, Consumer and Energy.

The firm specialises in identifying exceptional leaders in Technology, Data, Digital and Cyber leadership roles, drawing on deep expertise across industries. With partners including Jamie Robinson, who brings over 20 years in executive search and talent acquisition, Candela applies a disciplined, relationship-focused methodology to find the right senior-level talent.

Candela operates internationally, with offices in London, Washington DC and San Francisco, serving clients from start-ups to global corporates. The company earned recognition from a Group CIO at an FTSE 25 pharmaceutical company who noted that Candela was 'running rings around established headhunting partners' through responsive, action-orientated and accurate placements.
