The industry practice forms one of the central pillars of our business, informing much of the work we do elsewhere.

Our cross-industry perspective gives us the ability to take best practice and learn from across sectors, using this insight to inform our search process. This is reflected in the diverse selection of candidates that make up our shortlists.
We work with a broad range of global industrial businesses on executive search and talent projects spanning multiple disciplines. This includes board level as well as senior functional, cluster and country leadership assignments.
