Russam is a British interim management and executive search firm founded in 1982. The company has been referenced in national media, academic publications, and industry sources in relation to interim management practice in the United Kingdom.[1][2]
The firm operates from London and provides interim executives and senior recruitment services to organisations in commercial and not-for-profit sectors.[3]
History
Russam was established in 1982 by chartered accountant Charles Russam. Academic and industry publications from the late 2000s describe the firm as an early UK-based consultancy specialising in interim management during a period when the practice was not widely adopted.[1]
During the 1980s, Russam was associated with the development of the interim management sector in the UK and with the formation of the Interim Management Association (IMA), an industry body founded in 1987.[1][4]
In subsequent years, the firm expanded its activities to include executive search alongside interim management and adopted the shortened trading name “Russam”.[5]
Operations
Russam’s activities focus on interim management assignments and executive search. Industry directories and partner organisations describe the firm as supplying interim executives to organisations undergoing leadership transition, organisational change, or restructuring.[6][7]
Russam is a founding member of the Worldwide Interim Leadership (WIL) Group, an international network of interim management providers that collaborates on cross-border assignments.[8]
Corporate governance and certification
In 2023, Russam was certified as a B Corporation by B Lab, following assessment against governance, social, and environmental performance standards.[9]
