Seasoned talent advisors across the world’s most pressing missions
Organizations require sophisticated leadership to prosper in today’s rapidly changing economic, social, and technological environment. This highly specialized sector requires leaders who understand how to manage, how to stay ahead of the curve, and who have a deep commitment to the mission of the organization.
Our diverse placements in this area leverage the customized teams we assemble across the global Heidrick & Struggles network of industry and functional experts.
We believe in the opportunity of diversity to broaden the collective organizational perspective. In 2018 we pledged that at least 50% of our initial slate of longlisted board candidates would be diverse.
