CEO Search

Our CEO search practice is characterized by a tailor-made and comprehensive approach which enables the identification and recruitment of top-tier executive talents. We combine in-depth briefing sessions engaging all relevant decision-makers involved in the recruitment with market intelligence deeply rooted in the knowledge of the sector, the company and its competitors, as well as a technological and regulatory landscape analysis.

For each assignment, we set up an ad hoc team, gathering one or more partners and a dedicated research consultant, in order to bring together all specific competencies required by each project. Our partners remain fully engaged throughout each step of the entire process, whereas other search firms often operate in silos.

We design a search strategy that combines a systematic approach, leveraging every available information sources, with targeted high-level conversations with trusted market insiders.

We are highly attentive to each interaction with our candidates and clients, in order to guarantee both efficiency and a seamless experience throughout the entire process. Confidentiality and high editorial standards in our client and candidate communications, are both deeply embedded in our approach. We provide our high-standard offices to our, French or international, clients, for them to be able to host confidential meetings with candidates in an optimal setting.
