The Hiring Decision
For executive recruiters & talent partners
You're placing a senior leader — but a CV and three interviews only show you the candidate, not how they'll fit the team they're joining or the gap they're meant to fill. Sophiris shows all three: the team's real composition, the gap the hire must close, and how the candidate maps against it — before the offer goes out.
The Team-Strength Decision
For CEOs & team leaders
The team that got you here may not be the team that gets you there. Before you scale, restructure, or take on what's next — know how your leadership team actually holds together: where it's genuinely strong, where it's quietly exposed, and what has to change before the pressure finds out for you.
The Fundraise-Readiness Decision
For founders
Investors don't just back the idea — they back whether your team can execute it. Before you raise, know how your leadership team holds up to that scrutiny: the strengths that de-risk the round, and the gaps a sharp investor will find first. See what they'll see, before they see it.
The Succession/Promotion Decision
For boards & CEOs
Promoting your best performer is the most tempting — and most dangerous — bet you'll make. The skills that made someone excellent in their current seat are rarely the ones the bigger role demands. Before you elevate them, see whether they're ready for the role they're moving into — not just proven in the one they're leaving — and exactly where they'll need support to succeed.
The Board Composition Decision
For chairs, founders & investors
A board of impressive individuals isn't the same as an effective board. Before you add a seat, fill a vacancy, or build one from scratch — see how the group actually functions together: the perspectives you're missing, the blind spots you're doubling down on, and the balance that turns a room of talent into real governance.
The Self-Awareness Decision
And the one you make about yourself
Every read you make — of a team, a candidate, a room — is filtered through how clearly you see your own patterns: your defaults under pressure, your blind spot, the edge others already sense. It's the quiet bet beneath all the others. Start here, free, with the Executive Mirror.
