Who We Work With

Built for professionals who already carry weight in the room — and want a bigger one.

Our clients are directors, vice presidents and C-suite leaders across sectors, each looking to move into roles — often across borders — that reflect the level they've actually reached.

How It Works

A five-step method, run in the order that actually gets executives hired.

Positioning is sequential. Each stage builds the evidence the next one needs — so by the time you're in a negotiation, the outcome has already been shaped in your favour.

01

Discovery & Positioning Audit

Week 1

We map your track record, decisions and impact against the level and geography you're targeting — and identify exactly where the gap between your resume and your reputation lies.

02

Global Market Mapping

Weeks 2–3

We research the regions, companies and boards actively recruiting at your level, and build a shortlist grounded in real hiring signals rather than open listings.

03

Executive Narrative & Portfolio Build

Weeks 3–5

Your CV, LinkedIn presence and personal statement are rebuilt around one clear narrative — written for search committees and executive recruiters, not applicant tracking systems.

04

Network & Opportunity Access

Weeks 5–8

We open doors directly into our network of recruiters, hiring boards and regional partners — introducing you into rooms that rarely publish a vacancy.

05

Offer Negotiation & Transition Support

Ongoing

From first interview to signed offer — including relocation, compensation structure and contract terms — you negotiate with a strategist in your corner, not alone.

Why Sage Group

Advisory built to executive standards, not entry-level assumptions.

Complete Discretion

Every engagement is confidential by default — no client is discussed, referenced or listed without explicit permission.

A Genuinely Global Network

Direct relationships with recruiters and boards across the Middle East, Europe, North America and Africa — not a generic database.

Senior-Level Focus, Only

We advise directors and above exclusively — every framework and introduction is calibrated to executive-level hiring.

Data-Informed Positioning

Decisions are grounded in real hiring trends and compensation benchmarks — not generic career advice.

End-to-End Support

From the first audit to your signed contract and relocation — one strategist owns the entire journey with you.

A Track Record That Holds Up

Executives we've advised now sit in regional and global leadership roles across more than a dozen countries.

About the Founder

Bamidele Lawal

Founder & Principal Consultant, Sage Group

"Talent rarely fails to travel because it isn't good enough. It fails because it was never packaged for the room it was trying to enter."

Bamidele founded Sage Group after years spent watching capable, senior professionals get passed over for global roles — not for lack of ability, but for lack of positioning. He built Sage Group to close that gap: pairing an insider's understanding of how executive search actually works with a genuine network of recruiters and hiring boards across international markets.

Today, he leads every client engagement personally, working directly with directors, vice presidents and C-suite leaders to translate a strong track record into an offer that matches it.
