January 9, 2017 – Executive search firms Thomas Thor Associates, B.V. and KeySource HCI, LLC, have merged their nuclear industry business interests in the Americas and formed a new company called KeySource Thomas Thor, LLC.

Both firms have been serving the national and international interests of their clients by helping attract top talent, senior executives, management personnel and professional technical experts across the full spectrum of organizational needs.

KeySource Thomas Thor will be focused on providing executive search services to the entire life-cycle of nuclear providers in North and South America and will be headquartered in Hudson, OH. The combined firm will also have access to the global network of Thomas Thor Associates with operations in Europe and the Middle East.

Keith M. Wing, founder and principal of the KeySource companies, will serve as president and chief executive officer, reporting to Callum Thomas who will serve as chairman.

Merger of Equals 

“This is essentially a merger of two highly competent nuclear industry services companies with complimentary skills focused on North and South America,” said Mr. Wing. “I am excited for KeySource to join with one of the fastest growing nuclear services companies in the world, Thomas Thor, to now have a truly global reach in the nuclear industry.”

More and more companies are expanding into nuclear initiatives around the globe and we are pleased to be a trusted partner in talent delivery for our clients.”

Mergers Continue In Search Sector

Some provide national expansion opportunities, others more global reach, while still others allow for additional solutions offerings for clients requesting a full suite of talent management services. Here’s a look at just a few from the Hunt Scanlon Media archives:
