Who we are

We set out to build more than a search firm. We’re building a partner in leadership decision-making.

Broadview exists because we saw a gap: small and mid-sized companies often make their most important decisions — who joins the leadership team, how teams work together, how culture shapes performance — without a partner who truly understands the human elements behind growth.

Companies invest heavily in strategy, execution plans, and systems. But the success of those plans always comes down to people:
how leaders communicate, how decisions are made, how teams handle tension, and how culture evolves as the business scales.

Our mission is to help founders, CEOs, and investment partners gain a deeper understanding of these dynamics — and make leadership decisions rooted in human psychology, behavioural insight, and practical experience.

We’re building long-term partnerships that go far beyond filling a single role. We want to understand your business at a level where we can help you:

  • define the right leadership seat before you hire

  • anticipate how a new leader will influence your culture and team dynamic

  • build internal talent processes that support growth

  • make better decisions about structure, succession, and leadership fit

We believe companies grow faster — and more sustainably — when they have a partner who sees the whole picture: the people, the culture, the communication patterns, and the real operating conditions behind the scenes.

Broadview was built to be that partner.

Our Team

Bennett Royer | Partner

I’ve spent my 15-year career working with growing companies and the leaders behind them. My background sits at the intersection of corporate finance, organizational psychology, and executive recruitment — basically, I’m interested in how businesses work and why certain people succeed in certain environments.

Most challenges I see in small and mid-sized companies come down to leadership fit. Not in a theoretical way, but in how decisions get made, how people communicate, and what the team actually needs for the next stage of growth. That’s the part of the work I enjoy. I spend time with founders and executives getting clear on what they really need from a role, how the team operates today, and what kind of person will make everything work better in practice.

Broadview grew out of that approach. It’s less about traditional “recruiting” and more about understanding people and the dynamics that make a company run. When you get that right, the rest falls into place.

At home, I’m a dad to two young kids who keep life loud, funny, and full of perspective. I’m also an admiring husband to my incredibly talented wife, doing my best to support her interior design business and the creative chaos that comes with it. 

Gerrad Duggan | Partner

I bring 7 years of HR & Recruitment experience across a broad spectrum of domains including Engineering, Technology, Finance, Human Resources, and Operations. I focus on the delivery and administrative functions of Broadview, to ensure that our client's expectations are met and our operations are running smoothly! 

As an avid lover of psychology and philosophy, I am more interested in learning about the person behind the experience, rather than what presents prima facie. To achieve this, I take an equivalent approach to professional & personal conversations alike, which can be best summarized by Ram Dass: “We're fascinated by the words, but where we meet is in the silence behind them.” If only I could stop talking long enough to put that into practice...

You might find me travelling in my skoolie, hiking in the mountains, dancing at a music festival, or sitting in a brewery with a crossword book and a light beer. No matter where you do find me, I'll always be up for a friendly conversation, so make sure to say hello!

Daniel Hewko | Partner

I’ve spent the last 15 years in recruitment, which is impressive considering the three-ring circus I run at home. I actually started my career as an accountant after earning my Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Victoria — but it didn’t take long to realize I probably shouldn’t be trusted with other people’s numbers.

At my core, I’m a people person and truly care. I would like to know the name of your kid's fish and your Mimi's favorite color.  I connect quickly, I build real relationships, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes someone tick. That curiosity translates into a strong sense for cultural fit and team dynamics. I approach recruitment with a mix of instinct, honesty, and a pretty sharp radar for what someone will bring to a team. 

Outside of work, I’m a die-hard Red Sox fan. All three of my kids’ passport photos are in Red Sox jerseys, and no — I don’t take questions about it. Speaking of the kids, I’m the father of three lovable hellions who turn my house into a daily obstacle course of noise, banter, and questionable life choices.

My happy place? Disneyland. It’s where my chaos meets its natural habitat.

That’s me: recruiter, dad, Red Sox loyalist, and lover of all things Disney. Just white-knuckling it one day at a time.

What Makes Broadview Different

Clarity before search

We spend real time understanding your leadership team, mandate, and operating reality — so we define the right role before we start the search.

Deeper leadership assessment

We evaluate traits, communication style, decision-making patterns, motivational drivers, and culture fit/add — the signals that determine real success.

Speed & practicality

We move quickly without compromising quality. Our process is built for companies that don’t have time for bureaucracy and recognize that top talent is in high-demand.

Access to the right talent

We know what strong SME leadership looks like. We understand the people who excel in hands-on, growth-stage companies — the ones who can build systems, lead teams, and move the business forward.

Talent strategy beyond a single search

We support clients with fractional leadership, interview design, team diagnostics, and post-placement integration. We care about the success of the people we place and our clients we place them with.

Hiring the right leader isn’t just a decision - it’s one of the most important investments a company can make. Poor leadership can cost millions in lost productivity, turnover, and disengagement. The right leaders, by contrast, unlock exponential returns: stronger teams, sharper execution, and sustainable growth.

At Broadview, we’re more than leadership search partners — we’re strategic advisors committed to your long-term success.

What We Believe

  • We prioritize meaningful, high-impact connections focused on value, not transactions.

  • Ensure that every individual we engage with feels valued and respected throughout.

  • We build lasting partnerships by deeply understanding our clients' needs and goals. We work as an extension of your team.

  • We put people first, creating connections that empower growth and potential.

  • We focus on solutions that contribute to growth, innovation, and long-term strategic success.
