Senior economists are rarely “on the market”. The advantage is knowing who matters, why they might move and how to start the right conversation.
Where we work
Deep context in the markets where economists matter most.
Disputes & damages
Experts and teams spanning litigation, arbitration, valuation and financial economics.
Regulation
Economic regulation, price controls, regulatory finance and infrastructure.
Energy & utilities
Power markets, networks, transition, storage, renewables and market design.
Economic policy
Public policy, impact assessment, labour economics and applied econometrics.
What we deliver
Search built for a specialist market—not a volume exercise.
Clear scope, direct senior attention and evidence-led delivery from the outset.
Executive search
Confidential, structured search for senior economists, experts, practice leaders and strategic hires.
Paid talent mapping
A defined market map before a hiring decision—showing availability, positioning and realistic routes to engagement.
Permanent recruitment
Targeted delivery for experienced economists and specialist teams, without indiscriminate CV circulation.
Market intelligence
Competitor, capability and talent insight to support growth plans, succession and new-market entry.
How we work
Rigorous enough for the brief. Human enough for the market.
A good search is not a database query. It is a sequence of informed judgments—about capability, credibility, motivation and fit.

About EconExec
Focused by design.
EconExec is led from London by Rob Aitchison and works internationally with economic consultancies, professional-services firms, corporates, regulators and investors.
The focus is deliberately narrow: finding and understanding economist talent. That specialism brings sharper market knowledge, more credible candidate conversations and a clearer view of what will—and will not—work.
EconExec is a trading style of Marnhull Holdings.
