Revolutionizing Board Placement for More Than 20 Years

JamesDruryPartners is renowned for its innovative approach to board placement, in-depth governance insights, and access to the boards of America’s largest and most respected companies.


Clients: We have advised nearly 500 of our country’s most accomplished executives in selecting the boards they join.
• The majority of our clients are CEOs, CEO successors, and other C-level executives from Fortune 1000 companies who seek to join the board of a public company.
• 80% of our clients are active executives, while 20% are recently retired business leaders.

Process: First pioneered by JamesDruryPartners in 2006, BoardSelect® is our innovative “reverse board search” process.
• We proactively identify and develop corporate board opportunities that align with our client’s professional objectives, as well as the strategies of the executive’s home company.
• Unlike other firms, we cultivate unique board opportunities for our clients – nearly 75% of our clients are elected to boards that were not conducting an active director search at the time of our approach.

Retaining Services: In most cases, our firm is retained by corporations to facilitate board placements for one or more of their most valuable executives. Approximately 20% of our clients have retained us personally.
• Over 200 major corporations, including 32% of the Fortune 100, have retained our services for their top leaders, often as a “finishing step” in the executives’ professional development.
• We bill a professional retainer for our services. Fees are based on the complexity and scope of the project and typically range in the low six figures.
