INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Mining & Resources
We have successfully completed hundreds of leadership searches in the mining & natural resource industry, nearly in every functional area. We have a deep understanding of how to find the right talent to meet the challenges of today and beyond.
Medical Device Tech
MedTech is an emerging area for us that comes from the clear parallels that exist with A&D and Mining. Medical Device Technology is a highly regulated, precision manufacturing industry made of passionate change makers driven by a mission to make lives better.
Private Equity
Success in supporting private equity firms and their portfolio companies comes down to immersing ourselves into their specific issues, needs, and opportunities. One search may be focused on finding leaders to accelerate growth, while another is focused on driving operational excellence and improvement. Regardless of the challenge at hand, private equity is always about value creation.
Tech Sector / SaaS
The tech sector is reshaping every industry on the planet. For leaders in the sector, the race toward innovation combined with the pressures of industry consolidation, a continually shifting ecosystem, and fierce competition are placing even more demand on the leaders guiding their organizations. Tech sector success today requires modern, bold, strategic, and agile leadership.
Other Practices
Our executive search services have supported clients in almost all major industry and market sectors, from industrial battery manufacturing to pharmaceutical, healthcare services, education, financial services and e-commerce. Despite the industry or function served, our proven success comes from the ability to deeply understand our client’s needs and our relentless, investigative approach.
