BIE announces promotions as search and collaboration drive growth across the business

BIE Executive is delighted to announce the promotion of Byron Tarboton to Managing Director, Technology and Head of Search, and Ben Bond to Head of Research. These promotions come at a time of business growth for BIE as the company continues to focus on developing its executive search offering and research capacity.



Byron has been a leading figure within BIE’s executive search practice for over 10 years and has led the Technology practice for the past three. He has an extensive knowledge of the executive search market and his promotion will see him develop BIE’s search proposition and drive the already industry-leading cross function collaboration.

When asked about his promotion, Byron said: “I am thrilled my fellow board members entrust the vital role of Head of Search with me. I am looking forward to my new role which will see us developing BIE’s service offering to clients across an even broader set of needs than we already do.”

Ben’s promotion to Head of Research will see him continue the growth of search and research at BIE. Using his wealth of career experience, Ben will be building future capability in the research team, adding further rigor around research and search, whilst also looking to develop future talent both internally and for BIE’s clients.

Gordon Whyte, CEO at BIE, said: “Byron and Ben have worked hard for their promotions and I am delighted, along with the rest of the BIE board, to reward them. As BIE grows, it is exciting to watch incumbent personnel succeed and drive wider company growth from within. Exciting times lie ahead.”
