The firm serves ultra-high net-worth private-wealth and family markets, using its extensive network to access hidden talent pools and identify the best candidates for each opportunity.

The firm takes an immersive approach to each assignment, delving deep into each client’s business to gain an understanding of its needs and cultural philosophy. The entire firm – founder included – works together on each assignment, focusing the collective power of its senior team of search consultants to give each client its undivided attention.
