SERVICES
Board Search
The right mix of talent, skills and perspectives in the boardroom can mean the difference between value creation and value stagnation. Boards today must balance many issues, from shareholder activism to cybersecurity and compliance issues, to diversity and innovation.
Discussing what the process looks like is particularly relevant in the context of advancing diverse representation at the board level. Corporate boards have been slowly closing the underrepresentation gap, yet much more progress is needed. We can support you to adapt to meet the challenges of the complex stakeholders your board serve, no matter the industry or geography.
Our board recruitment process is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion, and we are enthusiastic about bringing the value of multiple views and differences into the boardroom. As a result, we can match your business to qualified leaders who are armed with the skills to manage today’s biggest business issues.
CEO Search
We do Chief Executive Search. The CEO role is important in today’s complex and volatile business environment. This requires a pragmatic and align view on the leadership of your company and the CEO has great impact on the organization’s success. The profile of the CEO should be a function of the specific impact the board wants the CEO to have on the business and on behalf of its stakeholders, and the skills it will take to accomplish that.
C-Level-Search
We know the importance of appointing the right leader. Often, the right candidate may not be the obvious one.

We help you benchmark and develop potential internal candidates, and we can connect you with the best external candidates in circumstances that often require a new perspective.
