Strengthening boards with our trustee recruitment partnership

Bill Yuksel has a passion for creating environments where people can create systemic change and a real commitment to delivering inclusive, empowering and robust recruitment.

Since joining Peridot in 2016, Bill has led hundreds of chief executive, senior leadership and board appointments for charities, including appointing over 60+ chief executives across England, Wales and Scotland.

Bill also has experience leading transformation projects as a Trustee of two charities, where he secured better financial positions, led governance reform and recruited new CEOs and Trustees. Bill was also a member of the Transformation Board at the University of Suffolk Students' Union.

As a former two-year students' union Sabbatical Officer, Bill knows that many talented young people find it hard to find meaningful employment after their term of office and has offered pro-bono career workshops to empower young people and help them in their job hunts.

Bill is proud of his strong track record of recruiting women, people of colour, LGBTQ+, and disabled people into leadership positions.

Outside of work, Bill is a kinship foster carer to his young nephew. He is also a Trustee at Mindera UK Foundation, a charity providing education, funding, mentorship, and opportunities for underrepresented and underprivileged young people. He works as an Interim Co-Chair of the Small Charity Advisory Panel, supported by NCVO, and he is a Panel Member for Board Behaviours and Dynamics Working Group for the Charity Commission.
