Talent and depth in your leadership team is the most important enabler of success for your organization. Which is why you should be meticulous in identifying, locating and engaging exactly the people you need.

You don’t find them on job boards.

The organizations has two head offices strategically located in Asia (Shanghai) and North America (Atlanta, Georgia).We know this complex and demanding discipline well, placing more than 1,000 CXO positions each year. We also know the difference between success and failure will have a huge impact on the business of our clients.

Both before (with leadership assessment) and after (onboarding) a rigorous search process, we work to ensure the highest possible chance of success in filling the most difficult talent needs.

We are regularly ranked by Forbes Media among the leading firms in our industry.
