About Us

At Leathwaite, we know the corporate officer and corporate function landscape better than anyone – because it’s been at the core of what we do for more than 20 years. We’re the functional search specialists.

Our unique position at the center of these talent ecosystems means we know what transformational corporate officers and functional leadership looks like. And we know where to find it – irrespective of industry or geography.

But we don’t just provide talent, we actively participate, sharing views on how the landscape is shifting and what great should and could look like. We challenge our clients to think differently and creatively around the future shape of their leadership.

With teams based across Asia, North America and EMEA we’re well placed to support our clients, globally.
