About Us

Hazel’s Roots (History)

Hazel Executive & Boards is an Australian-owned executive search and advisory firm dedicated to building effective leadership in public sector and for-purpose organisations. We specialise in partnering with Boards and senior executives on CEO and Board search, senior executive recruitment, interim executive appointments, succession planning, market mapping, and advisory services.

The name Hazel is inspired by the Hazel tree — a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, and purposeful growth. Just as the Hazel tree has long represented insight and clarity in decision-making, our work is grounded in deep expertise and thoughtful, values-led partnerships.


Our purpose is to connect purpose-driven organisations with exceptional leaders, ensuring every engagement contributes to stronger communities and a more positive future for all Australians.
