Our higher education practice is routinely engaged to identify the next Chancellor, President, Provost, Dean, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Chief Information Officer, Vice Presidents, and other high-level senior administrators.

We understand successful management of an academic institution is more challenging than it has ever been, requiring an increasingly wide range of skills to balance the diverse missions of academics, research, teaching, fundraising, and ever changing educational issues.

Each academic institution is different. The cultures of large research universities are as different as comprehensive teaching universities as are private or faith based institutions.

Attracting leaders with the personal and professional characteristics to match the schools’ mission is imperative to ensuring success and requires the counsel of an experienced search partner.

We are the only national firm that combines the recruiting and leadership assessment expertise of consultants from the largest, most well recognized retained search organizations with highly respected, former university Presidents, Provosts, Deans, Practicing Physicians, and department chairs from across the country. 

Our search consultant model is unique, and a clear differentiator for our clients. 

In addition, we are active members of the American Council on Education (ACE) Executive Search Roundtable, CUPA -HR, and Educause.  

Our clients include the foremost public and private research and comprehensive universities, academic medical centers, public pension systems, foundations, and private not-for-profit organizations.
