what is OUR MISSIOn?
Ducatus Leadership Solutions (DLS) mission is to offer unparalleled Interim / Fractional Leadership & focused Managed Consultancy Services tailored for the energy, industrial and private equity sectors.
Combining the skill sets of industry veterans with executive search experts, DLS brings decades of experience and expertise to address the unparalleled challenges faced by today's leadership teams.
DLS understands the critical importance of having access to experienced and motivated professionals for success, but due to budget and time constraints, leadership teams often find themselves stretched thin, lacking the capacity and/or expertise to address urgent ongoing requirements which then impacts on operational efficiency, strategic goals, and profitability.
DLS was founded with the mission to provide targeted assistance that fully understands these challenges and therefore fully complements and supports in-house leadership and management teams in a cost-effective manner.
How Do We Add Value?
Ducatus Leadership Solutions distinguishes itself from existing players in the market by offering an 'experience-driven' approach rather than being 'process-driven with generic consultants.'
Consultants at DLS boast over 30 years of relevant industry experience and are generally at a stage in their careers where they are seeking flexibility in roles, locations, and durations rather than pursuing permanent positions. All projects are structured with finite lifespans based on agreed SOWs and deliverables, providing clients with clear cost projections upfront.

CASE STUDY
BUILDING AN EXECUTIVE TEAM TO SUPPORT GLOBAL EXPANSION
Our client, a midcap exploration and production company, needed to hire a new senior executive and multiple senior hires after acquiring acreage in the US.
Up until that point, 95% of the company's assets had been outside the US. They had no existing local office, and no onboarding capability in North America.
Ducatus Partners stepped in to help appoint a senior vice president to lead the expansion, as well as an extensive senior team to build operational capability at the new site.
