Helping clients address difficult strategic and organizational challenges often results in leadership transitions for key roles. These moments of change carry with them tremendous opportunity as well as significant risk. Replacing a leader and/or enhancing a leadership team requires a strategic, client-centered approach combined with a deep understanding of the organizational environment and meticulous execution of the craft of executive search.
