Global Leadership Intelligence
Precision-grade certainty for the world’s
most critical appointments
For Boards, Investors, and Chairs.
Leadership in 2026 is judged under unprecedented scrutiny. Westbury & Haven exists to protect Chairs, CEOs, and Boards from avoidable leadership surprises by proving the unknowns before commitment and compounding success after appointment.
We move beyond the transaction of executive search to deliver a permanent pathway that simplifies the decision and solidifies the truth.
The Risk of Narrative: 50-60% of executives fail within 18 months of being hired. The cost is rarely the hire; it is the unpriced risk of being wrong
The Forensic Solution: We provide forensic simplification of the mandate, evidence-based verification of unknowns, and red-team protection before the board commits.
The Outcome: A defended decision, installed leadership, and sustained value creation
We strip the mandate down to its core value-creation logic.
We provide auditable artefacts so your decisions survive scrutiny from investors and regulators alike.
We don't just exit at the contract signing; we anchor the first 120 days of impact to ensure value compounds.
Roy Kibui is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Westbury & Haven. With a career spanning over 20 years and 4 continental markets, he serves as a trusted advisor to Chairs, CEOs, Owners, and Boards across UK, US, and Europe, Middle East and Africa.
In an era where leadership selection is an institutional risk decision rather than a simple and episodic HR event, Roy specializes in Global Leadership Intelligence. His work focuses on high-stakes inflection points—succession, transition risk, and cross-border appointments—where reputational exposure and strategic risk are inseparable.
He operates at the intersection of leadership intelligence and institutional decision-making. He brings Nasdaq-listed operating exposure and a track record of building search businesses in challenging markets—founding a successful firm, plus establishing two executive search practices, and shaping go-to-market strategy end-to-end. He is known for turning complex appointment risk into disciplined, defensible decisions—then executing seamlessly.~
He advises chairs, boards, CEOs and owners, of institutional capital and major corporate clients with a decision-architecture lens, delivering clarity and continuity under pressure.
Westbury & Haven builds the intelligence system behind leadership decisions — so organisations hire with confidence, not hope.
We run a light governance model that protects board time and keeps decisions moving.
