Case studies

Finding the right Chief Internal Auditor is not a process that rewards a generalist approach. The candidate pool is small, the stakeholder landscape is complex, and the regulatory dimension adds an additional layer of complexity.

Andy Winterburgh has spent three decades focused on internal audit recruitment in financial services including fifteen years at Hybridge. That focus has produced a network, a reputation, and a depth of market knowledge that other firms cannot replicate.

When a board needs to appoint an SMF5 and wants a search partner who understands the regulatory process, the candidate market, and the stakeholder dynamics from the inside, they come to Hybridge. Our track record in SMF5 and Head of Audit executive search is extensive, and the case studies in this section give a flavour of what that looks like in practice

Every search featured here is different, but what each has in common is that it required the kind of specialist knowledge and trusted candidate relationships that only come from doing this for three decades.
