About Us

Decisions power performance, with decision effectiveness predicting superior financial performance at a 95%+ confidence level across all industries and geographies.  Business decisions (which range from what company to acquire, to how to communicate with employees, to what culture initiatives to pilot) are a core part of every senior executive’s remit and no one can absolve the executive from that responsibility.  Senior executives and decisions go hand in hand.

Why, then, is business decision making almost entirely absent from the executive recruiting conversation, as well as the executive search industry’s approach to helping companies hire executive leaders?

At Kingsley Gate, it’s not only present, it’s front and center.  The firm’s proprietary, data-driven methodology for identifying, evaluating, and selecting executives operates under the belief that deeply understanding candidates’ decision capabilities, readiness, and approach is the best way to identify and hire the best executive leader.

Headquartered in New York and operating globally since 2015, the firms’ consultants have helped over 1700 client organizations successfully hire and onboard thousands of decision-making executives across all industries, functions, and markets.

Since 2022, the firm has been backed by private equity firm Crescent Cove Partners LP.  For more information, please visit www.KingsleyGate.com
