We are a leading, highly respected 30 year old Retained Executive Search Firm
Our Mission
To be relentless in our efforts to develop “leadership capital” for our clients, transform their businesses by building high performance teams, and consistently exceed their expectations.
WHAT WE DO
We are a global, retained, boutique executive search firm. The strategic nature of our work, our people, and our core values form the basis of our success. A strong, trusted partnership approach enables us to do our job better and add more value for all our stakeholders – clients, candidates, our team and suppliers – in the long term.
As a result, our clients share with us confidential strategic initiatives, such as changes in go-to-market strategies, new channels and organizational restructuring that impact talent planning. We then help them build talent pipelines by function, level, and geography in order to bridge these talent gaps. We believe that anything is possible. We are resilient and succeed where others do not.

REVIVE STAGNANT SEARCHES
One of our areas of expertise which we have developed over the years is to take over problem or stagnant or challenging search assignments and bring expedient closure for the client.
Throughout our years in retained search, we have encountered numerous clients who had been involved in a search assignment that was stagnant for a number of reasons such as:
- Obscure location of the assignment
- Confidential Leadership Replacement Search Assignments/NDA signed
- A highly technical skill that was needed and difficult to locate in that particular industry
- Lack of attention to their search assignment by another search firm
- Lack of industry expertise or search depth of another search firm
Many of our initial assignments with a new client over the years were stagnant searches that we successfully turned around. We concluded an assignment in Japan 4 months after two other international multi-location retained firms had failed.
The more challenging or difficult the search, the more committed we are as a company to complete the assignment and bring satisfaction to the client.
