A leading global executive search and advisory firm, we provide the preeminent universities, medical schools, academic medical centers, research institutes, and healthcare organizations access to world-class leadership talent.

We understand the distinct needs of higher education, its transformative impact, and appreciate that leadership of an academic enterprise is more challenging than it has ever been. This creates demand for new sorts of leadership at all executive levels to balance the diverse missions of academics, research, and ever-changing educational issues. In response, we have developed a strategic, disciplined recruitment process that blends efficiency, confidentiality, and inclusivity. It includes active engagement of the global scientific leaders and the next generation of talent, including those from under-represented groups, and guided by a deep sense of partnership and mutual accountability to ensure a successful outcome for every assignment.

As you continue to educate and train the future scholars, creators, leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators at the forefront of scientific discovery, we look forward to the opportunity to discuss the strategic executive leadership needs of your institution.
