AltoPartners Adds Member Firm In Hungary

April 18, 2016 – AltoPartners, an international alliance of independent executive search firms and leadership consultants, has added Budapest-based executive search firm AP Accord Group ECE Hungary as its newest member firm.

Accord Group Hungary offers executive search services and expertise across a number of industries, including information & communications; technology / telecommunications (including industrial automation); manufacturing (automotive, electronics); media; as well as banking and financial services.

The firm’s recruiting team supports Hungarian business start-ups by helping innovative ventures in their acquisition of leadership talent.

Since 2010, Bence Berkó (pictured) has been a partner of Accord Group Hugary, focusing on top management and specialist assignments for international as well as local operating clients.

“With over 20 years’ of executive search experience in the CEE region, we are well positioned to work within a global alliance and share our deep local insights and profound industry sector knowledge across the AltoPartners alliance,” said Mr. Berkó. “International business networking and cross-border, multi-country projects are second nature to us. We see our entry into the AltoPartners alliance as a win-win for both our local firm and the global alliance as a whole.”

“We are delighted that AP Accord Group ECE Hungary have joined our alliance, bringing with them in-depth knowledge of the local Hungarian market while they display a cross-cultural understanding which is key to our global approach,” said Stephen Dallamore, AltoPartners global chairman. “The strength in our alliance is the quality of our local firms – firms with solid reputations, high assignment completion rates and proven added value to clients. Our partners in Hungary embody this for us.”
