Louise Chaplin
Partner & Head of Board Practice
Specialising in executive search within board level positions, Louise’s unique combination of expertise and experience enables her to work closely with both clients and candidates at a senior level to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Louise supports Chairs, CEOs and Non-Executive Directors to attract the right key talent for their boards. Her work covers positions in listed, PE/VC and SME environments. Louise serves as a Council Member for Europe Africa region of the Association of Executive Search Consultants, the leading industry body for the search and leadership advisory profession globally.
Creating strong and lasting relationships with her clients is at the core of Louise’s approach and she has a well-established national and international network of contacts. She has worked across a wide variety of business sectors, functions, and geographies and has a broad and diverse client base.
A graduate in Economics, Louise spent her early career in the army. Prior to joining Eton Bridge, she spent 7 years at Ashridge Business School working closely with FTSE 100 companies to develop global leadership programmes.
See what Louise’s clients say
In my role as Interim Managing Director Shared Services for Hanson UK I was required to lead the selection of my permanent replacement. I instructed four agencies on the scope of the role, the type of candidate and the experience that they should have already gained.
Louise is very professional, she asked all the right questions, pushed back when she found it necessary, understood the requirements gave me some new ideas and, in summary, was very easy to work with. But more than that, she selected a shortlist of three candidates all of whom we interviewed together with a fourth candidate from one of the other agencies. Louise kept me informed of the feedback from her candidates and acted as the intermediary when we moved to offer and acceptance.
I have worked with Eton Bridge Partners since they set-up in 2011 and have found them to be the most proactive and professional recruitment agency in London and the Thames Valley. Louise and I had not worked together previously, but she fits the description of professional perfectly and enhances the reputation of Eton Bridge.
What particularly impresses me about Louise Chaplin of Eton Bridge Partners is her breadth of relationships with both clients and candidates, at a variety of levels, which combines with her personal level of service and excellent communication skills to deliver an interaction and a follow through, long term, that is refreshing and valued
In spring 2020, during the first Covid-19 lockdown, I was approached by Eton Bridge Partners for a confidential discussion in relation to a listed CEO role. I met with Louise Chaplin and Jess Jakins remotely on VC for them to gain an understanding of my background, situation, and plans. I agreed to move on to engage with the Board and we completed 95% of the process remotely. The EBP team was super-efficient and on-the-ball with their updates and insights. I enjoyed working with Louise and the wider team, and hope to work with the team at Eton Bridge Partners again. Thank you team EBP!
