As trusted advisors and strategic partners, we help build companies.

We help clients develop pipelines of talent so they can be proactive in their talent planning instead of being reactive to unplanned succession changes.

The feedback we receive from our clients is simple - they work with us for seven main reasons:

• 1. Boutique firm that offers accessibility and a consistent point of contact
  but yet has intercontinental reach (Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, Asia Pac, Lat Am and North America).
• 2. Our network of high-potential, internationally mobile candidates
  who have lived and worked in 2+ countries in General Management, Sales, Marketing, HR, Strategic Planning, Supply, Sustainability and Finance, who are willing to relocate when promoted, and speak at least two languages - English is the constant.
• 3. Succession planning track record
  Our clients look to us to help them increase their bench strength with international talent who can be promoted at least twice. 92% of placements are still with our clients and are on a fast track, therefore part of the succession plan.
• 4. We help you recruit your future leaders also
  It's as important to our clients that we help them bring in their future leaders as it is to bring in the current senior leaders. As a result we work on a wide range of levels within the organization - from Senior Manager through Director to the Executive Committee.
• 5. "Getting" the corporate culture
  We understand deeply how companies work and how this culture impacts a candidate's failure or success.
• 6. International approach to diversity (gender, culture and geography)
  Many clients have a healthy mandate for diversity so approximately 40% of searches we are retained on have a specific diversity objective in addition to the high standards of experience each role demands. The standard is simple - we look for the best in the market and on the short list, 50% need to be diverse. As a result, we have a go-to network of senior business leaders that refer us to great diverse candidates that they have managed or mentored in their careers.

• 7. Zero conflict of interest
  Our strategy is very simple. We work with a small number of clients, and only one client per sector - we will not work with your competitors. This enables us to partner with our clients more strategically and eliminates the "off-limits" issue.
