The Executive Heads
Craig Elvin
Group Director
Craig Elvin is a highly experienced Executive Search leader who has spent more than two decades helping CEOs, founders, and boards build leadership teams that drive transformation, commercial performance and long‑term organisational resilience.
A former military engineer, Craig brings a disciplined, data‑driven and human approach to leadership hiring. Over his career, he has partnered with ambitious organisations to appoint senior leaders into C-Suite roles and Functional leaders in Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Commercial functions. His track record includes countless board‑level and C‑suite hires for high‑growth, scaling and change-facing businesses.
As part of the Heads Resourcing Group Senior Leadership Team, Craig plays a key role in shaping growth strategy, improving commercial performance, and enabling clients to access, assess and retain the leadership talent they need to succeed. His work spans executive search delivery, talent strategy, EVP development, behavioural benchmarking, and designing recruitment processes that reduce risk and increase leadership impact.
Craig is known for his ability to understand the real dynamics behind leadership needs, not just the job brief, and for acting as the trusted advisor CEOs turn to when they need clarity, challenge and a recruitment process that gets it right the first time.
Beyond his search work, Craig is a long‑standing advocate for veterans in the workplace. As Heads Resourcing Group’s sponsor for the Armed Forces Covenant and Ambassador for the Forces Transition Group, he supports organisations in accessing the unique capabilities that ex‑service personnel bring and continues to mentor veterans transitioning into civilian leadership careers.
