Elevate & rise with confidence
Hire talent with vision, precision and strength
Wedge Tailed Talent helps organisations find, grow and support great leaders across their entire journey. From executive appointments to improving hiring experiences, strengthening leadership capability and guiding smooth transitions, we offer practical support that helps leaders and organisations move forward with confidence.
Every hire is a major business decision
choose right, reach new altitudes
As organisations evolve and grow, leadership decisions demand sharper focus.
Critical roles emerge, expectations lift, and the cost of choosing the wrong leader rises.
Senior leaders are repeatedly pulled into the talent challenge.
Balancing risk and organisational impact, while navigating decisions that demand greater clarity and confidence than the available time allows.
Past recruitment experiences cast a long shadow.
Executive teams become more guarded, progress slows, and appointments are shaped by risk aversion rather than a forward looking strategy.
Our expertise isn’t based on theory.
It’s built from years of guiding leaders.
Cameron Norton has partnered with Boards, CEOs and senior leadership teams through pivotal moments of growth and transformation, supporting organisations from early momentum to sustained impact across government, for-purpose, essential services, private and technology-led sectors.
Pattern recognition, not guesswork
With more than 15 years in executive search and recruitment, workforce strategy and experience management, Cameron brings deep insight into how leadership decisions shape organisational performance. His approach is informed by hundreds of senior hires, award winning candidate care, and longstanding partnerships with organisations and leaders navigating complexity, change and growth.
A complete leadership lifecycle partner
Through Wedge Tailed Talent, Cameron brings this experience together in a cohesive, founder-led model that supports organisations across the full leadership lifecycle. From executive recruitment and experience-led hiring design to EVP development, workforce strategy, onboarding, career transition and executive outplacement, the offering is built on one central promise: calm, clarity and progressive perspectives applied at every stage.
