Executive Search
Belong Consultancy is a boutique executive search firm, specialising in building senior and executive teams for the Financial Services and Life Sciences industries across the United Kingdom and United States.
Our Story
We are proud to be small, independent and specialist with a human touch. We are headhunters and executive search professionals – not generalist, transactional recruiters – with deep industry knowledge and a consultative approach.
Our Founder, Jessica Davey, brings experience from both boutique agency recruitment and as Head of Talent for one of the UK’s fastest growing SaaS businesses, where she scaled the organisation from 20 to 200+ employees across the UK, EU, US and APAC.
In 2019, Jessica founded Belong Consultancy after recognising how broken recruitment had become. Clients and candidates were being treated like transactions, without empathy or subject matter expertise.
Belong was created to be different – a strategic partner for clients and a trusted advisor to candidates – offering an exclusive white-glove service like no other search firm.
Our mission is clear
Since then, Belong has built senior leadership teams for challenger banks, lenders, FinTech start-ups and scale-ups, and investment firms worldwide.
Working closely with Founders, CEOs and investors, Jessica and her team have established first-time leadership and C-Suites for high-growth Financial Services firms, as well as guiding scale-ups and established businesses through critical transformations.
We have a proven track record of delivering on C-Suite, VP, Head Of and Senior Manager positions across Finance, Technology, Operations, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Commercial and People functions, as well CEO and board appointments.
Our mission is personal
However, in 2025, everything changed.
Jessica’s mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal cancer. Balancing oncology appointments, hospital visits and full-time caring alongside running Belong Consultancy inspired a new purpose: to do more good.
Belong Consultancy evolved to serve not only Financial Services, but also Life Sciences – with a particular focus on Oncology and a mission to help cure cancer.
We work closely with Founders and investors to place Chief Medical Officers, Chief Scientific Officers, Chief Technical Officers, Chief Operating Officers – as well as the SVP, VP and Head Of roles supporting them – into biotechnology and pharmaceutical organisations at the forefront of cancer drug development.
