Lucent Search

Lucent Search is a retained executive search firm focused on senior AI, data, technology and transformation leadership.

We work with CEOs, boards and investors when an appointment has a significant bearing on business performance, organisational change or the ability to deliver a technology or AI strategy.

Our work frequently begins with a question that is broader than who to hire. We help organisations determine what leadership capability is required, how the role should be structured and where accountability should sit before taking the search to market.

Assignments include Chief Information Officer (CIO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Data Officer (CDO), Chief Data and Analytics Officer (CDAO), Chief AI Officer (CAIO) and other senior digital, technology and transformation positions.

Our clients are typically established organisations operating in complex or regulated environments across the UK. Search assignments are conducted on a retained basis and combine focused market research, direct executive approaches, structured assessment and regular reporting throughout the process.

Lucent Search was founded by Rebecca Hastings, who brings 15 years of executive search experience and has supported more than 100 senior leadership appointments.
