EXECUTIVE SEARCH FOR THE GLOBAL SEED INDUSTRY
Bambu Executive Search works in partnership with hiring managers and HR teams within seed breeding, crop genetics, and agribusiness to support business-critical hires.
Our role is to provide reliable access to experienced senior and technical professionals who are rarely active on the open market. Through targeted executive search, we help you reach candidates you would not typically access through advertising or traditional recruitment approaches.
You gain visibility of a deeper, higher-quality talent pool, allowing you to make confident hiring decisions without relying solely on inbound applicants.
BUILT AROUND YOUR HIRING PRIORITIES
At Bambu, every search begins with understanding what truly matters to your hiring team. Not just the job description, but the structure of your team, your expectations, and the long-term impact of the hire.
You can expect an efficient, honest, and highly personal service designed to reduce hiring risk and support the right long-term fit, rather than a short-term placement.
Our approach is grounded in trust, transparency, and sound judgement, ensuring you receive clear market insight and realistic guidance throughout the process.
A calm, well-managed search process with clear communication, informed advice, and no pressure to rush decisions.
OUR INDUSTRY FOCUS
We specialise exclusively in executive search within the global seed and agriculture industry, with a strong focus on seed breeding, crop genetics, and the wider agribusiness landscape.
Our recruitment spans the full value chain, from research and development, trait discovery, and breeding programme leadership, through to commercially driven roles across sales, marketing, finance, and general management.
Whether supporting early-stage biotech businesses or multinational seed organisations, we tailor each search to reflect the structure, scale, and maturity of your business.
You work with a search partner who understands your industry language, your talent challenges, and the commercial reality behind every hiring decision.
A PERSONAL, FOUNDER-LED PARTNERSHIP
Bambu Executive Search is personally led by Bronte Lewis, with over a decade of experience supporting global hiring managers and HR leaders across the seed and agriculture markets.
Every assignment is managed end-to-end by Bronte, ensuring continuity, accountability, and informed judgement throughout the search. Without internal sales targets or handovers, the focus remains on quality, reputation, and long-term hiring outcomes.
You deal with one experienced consultant from briefing through to placement, with full ownership of your search and consistent communication at every stage.
