Our commitments to executive management, boards of directors, and investment funds.



An independent firm does not sell the same thing as a global network. It offers a broader hunting ground, an unchanging point of contact, and a commitment it upholds itself. Here is what that means for an assignment.

An independent firm does not sell the same thing as a global network. It sells a broader search scope, a single dedicated point of contact, and a commitment that it takes full personal responsibility for. Here is what that means for an assignment.

Every firm refrains from approaching the executives of its own clients. The difference lies in the number of clients. A network of several hundred consultants closes off entire segments of a market to its own consultants. Our off-limits list consists of only a few names, and we share it with you before signing.

The partner who commits to you is the one who leads the mandate, from the initial exchange right through to integration. There is no handing over of files to a junior consultant after the signing, and no dilution of standards between the person who sells and the person who executes.

Your sensitive operations do not pass through an information system shared by hundreds of consultants across several continents. They remain in the hands of the person leading your mandate.

Replacement of the executive with no additional fees, throughout the entire probationary period. Few firms put this in writing, because few are willing to bear the cost.

This commitment is not commercial, it is methodological: we only present candidates that we are prepared to defend, and we accept responsibility for them. A firm that forwards resumes without taking a stand cannot guarantee anything.

An executive mandate commits your governance for several years. It deserves better than a service contract.

We work with a limited number of clients, which allows us to understand your challenges without having to rediscover them with each mandate, and to say no to you when a position is outside of our expertise. A firm that accepts everything is an expert in nothing.

We approach active leaders, including those who are not looking and who do not respond to any executive search firm. Our job is to convince them to take a call, not to filter out those who have already declared themselves available.

For an investor, the difference is measurable: the executive who will drive your value creation plan is almost never looking for a job at the moment you need them.
