Clarity in Complexity

Viridare Talent Advisory supports organisations working in complex, future-critical industries to make high-stakes hiring decisions well.

 

We partner with companies operating across advanced technology, energy transition, sustainability and digital infrastructure—where leadership, technical depth and judgement matter more than speed or scale alone. Our work focuses on senior, specialist and hard-to-replace roles that directly shape an organisation’s direction and capability.

 

Viridare was founded by global talent strategist Lauren McPherson, who brings over a decade of experience advising on executive and senior technical hiring across AI, deep tech, engineering and energy systems. Her work spans sovereign technology organisations, infrastructure-led businesses and high-growth innovators operating in regulated or rapidly evolving environments.

 

The name Viridare comes from the Latin term “to make green” or “to grow,” reflecting a belief in sustainable, considered growth—built through people who are aligned, capable and resilient over the long term.

 

Viridare operates as a founder-led, boutique advisory with global reach. We combine deep sector knowledge, trusted networks and a hands-on, highly selective approach to search and advisory work.

 

We work best with organisations that take talent seriously—and understand that the right people change outcomes.
