Our Journey

At Deabadh, we believe that leadership isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about finding the right people who will shape the future. Founded by our CEO William Warren, an Irish entrepreneur with a deep passion for leadership and talent development, Deabadh has grown into a trusted global boutique, delivering C-suite executive search and leadership solutions across more than 60 countries.

 

With a career spanning decades and an unwavering commitment to excellence, William built Deabadh on the principles of integrity, insight, and impact. Unlike traditional firms, we go beyond resumes and algorithms, focusing on the unique dynamics of family businesses, high-growth enterprises, and global leadership teams.

 

A Different Kind of Executive Search Firm

 

Deabadh isn’t just about placing executives—it’s about understanding the DNA of a business and finding leaders who can drive real, long-term success. Our approach is deeply personalized, research-driven, and strategically aligned with the challenges and opportunities of our clients.
