Retained executive search for the global public safety technology market.

2XR is a retained executive search firm specialising exclusively in technology, consulting and IT services companies serving the global public safety market.

The Talent Challenge in Public Safety Technology

The global public safety technology market is undergoing its most significant transformation in a generation. Government digital investment programmes, AI adoption, cloud migration and the modernisation of policing, criminal justice, fire and rescue, emergency services and border management are reshaping the competitive landscape for every technology, consulting and IT services company serving this sector.

At the heart of that transformation is a talent challenge that most organisations underestimate. The companies that win and retain business in this market do so because of the quality of their senior leaders. People who understand how public safety organisations procure, operate and think. That profile is rare, genuinely valuable and not findable through conventional search.

2XR was built to solve that problem. A retained executive search firm focused exclusively on technology, consulting and IT services companies serving the global public safety market. We work on senior leadership and business-critical mandates where deep market knowledge, rigorous methodology and genuine sector understanding make the difference between a good hire and the right one.

We are deliberately selective in the work we take on. 2XR partners closely with a small number of clients at any one time, ensuring every mandate receives the focus and continuity it deserves.

2XR is led by Rob Andrews, whose 30 year career spans senior leadership roles inside IT services, consulting and technology businesses alongside extensive executive search experience. That combination means 2XR understands the commercial pressures clients operate under, what makes a great hire in a transformation-driven environment, and what it genuinely takes to succeed in the public safety market.

How We Support Our Clients

  • Senior Leadership Appointments

    We work on the appointments that genuinely move the needle. The roles where the quality of the hire determines whether an organisation wins, grows and retains business in the global public safety market.

  • Reaching Passive Candidates

    The leaders who succeed in this market are rarely looking. They are embedded in long-term programmes and do not respond to job adverts. We reach them through relationships and deep market knowledge built continuously over time.

  • Market Intelligence as Standard

    Every mandate is underpinned by a genuine understanding of the global public safety technology market. The suppliers, the talent pools, the programmes driving demand. That intelligence shapes every mandate we take on.
