Company Description

Balmer Dawson Executive Search is a Dublin based executive search consultancy dedicated to appointing CEOs and senior leaders for charities and nonprofit organizations across Ireland and internationally. The firm partners closely with chairpersons, boards, and chief executives in mission driven settings, including charities, NGOs, educational trusts, religious orders, and higher education foundations, to deliver governance led and culturally aligned leadership appointments. Led by experienced advisers Gilly Balmer and Zena Dawson, the practice brings more than two decades of sector specific expertise to each assignment, combining targeted market mapping, discreet headhunting, rigorous longlisting and shortlisting, and structured board interview support. Their director led model emphasizes clarity and momentum, agreeing a realistic search timeline at the outset and providing practical decision tools such as interview frameworks and scoring matrices to help boards reach confident, evidence based outcomes. The team is retained for complex, high stakes transitions where discretion, sound judgment, and values fit are paramount, with a particular strength in assessing leadership capability and cultural alignment for purpose driven organizations. Track record spans CEO and executive director appointments as well as senior functional leadership such as heads of fundraising and philanthropy and director level roles for organizations including Sonas Domestic Violence Charity, Mens Aid, DEBRA Ireland, the Irish Cancer Society, Trinity Development and Alumni, DCU Educational Trust, the Society of Jesus, Focus Ireland, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. From its base at 34 Grafton Street, Dublin 2, Balmer Dawson supports clients nationwide, offering a transparent, collaborative, and candidate respectful process that reflects each organization’s strategy, governance context, and values. The result is senior leadership appointments that strengthen nonprofit institutions for the long term and deliver measurable impact for the communities they serve.
