Moxie

Moxie is an executive search and leadership advisory firm based in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It works with owners and boards of private, family and founder-led businesses in New Zealand and Australia.

Its search work covers CEO, CFO, COO and General Manager appointments, as well as Heads of Sales and senior operational leaders. Searches are retained, and it takes on a select number of assignments at a time. Its advisory work helps clients define key leadership roles, assess the capability already in place and decide whether to hire, restructure a role or develop an existing leader. Its experience spans food and agribusiness, distribution, manufacturing, professional services and construction.

Moxie evolved from Numeric, a specialist search business, and later rebranded. Ben Kershaw founded what became Moxie in 2007, and the firm cites nearly two decades of executive search and assessment experience.
