About Danos Group

Danos Group

Danos Group is a global specialist in governance recruitment, executive search and consulting for regulated organisations. We support clients across Compliance, Financial Crime, Risk and Legal, partnering with leading financial institutions, professional services firms and law firms to deliver senior and specialist talent solutions that strengthen governance, regulatory capability and commercial resilience.

Our heritage began in 2004, when Dominic Danos founded the business with the launch of Danos Associates, providing specialist recruitment services to mid- and senior-level professionals within regulated organisations.

In response to evolving market demands, we subsequently established Danos Search, focused on retained executive search, and Danos Consulting, delivering interim resourcing and consulting solutions.

Today, we operate as a global governance talent partner, with teams across EMEA, the Americas and Asia Pacific. We combine deep market insight with a carefully developed network of senior professionals to help organisations meet regulatory expectations, execute strategic priorities and build effective governance functions.

We work selectively, delivering targeted recruitment and executive search solutions, alongside interim and consulting support, to help clients address complex legal, risk and compliance requirements.

Our Vision & Approach

We believe effective governance is built on the quality of people appointed to critical roles. Our approach is:

  • Client-focused — aligned with strategic priorities and organisational culture

  • Evidence-led — informed by market insight and regulatory context

  • Discreet and consultative — particularly on senior executive search assignments

  • Outcome-oriented — focused on long-term value rather than short-term placements

We are recognised for our disciplined methodology, depth of specialist networks and consistent delivery of high-calibre governance talent.
