Industrial
The energy shift is changing the sector’s fundamental makeup, and digital change is continuing to obfuscate the distinction between the B2C and B2B sectors. Industrial firms are becoming more aware of the importance of the customer experience as a growth engine in an on-demand world and the necessity of taking significant, obvious action on the most pressing environmental and societal concerns.
Due to these changes, industrial companies require leaders who can foster organisational cultures that support innovation to create the transformation that the majority of businesses will need to go through while helping to bring a sharp stakeholder and customer focus in a world that is changing quickly. Through executive search, we have assisted various industrial customers in adjusting to ongoing seismic changes in the industry for over 75 years.
Infrastructure
Larger, more complicated projects, less public investment, and increased regulatory scrutiny define the infrastructure sector today. The way infrastructure projects are developed, built, and operated is expected to change as a result of new technology and improved data and analytics capabilities. Therefore, businesses must adapt quickly to avoid falling behind. The corporate and governmental sectors are being challenged to work together for the greater benefit through new methods of project funding.
Successful infrastructure executives now need a mix of commercial, strategic, technological, and media abilities to handle escalating demands from new and existing stakeholders. Having restructuring, turnaround, and operational skills will also be crucial. We work with companies throughout the infrastructure ecosystem to promote strategic or cultural transformations, attract and develop emerging leaders, and enhance the performance of the senior leadership team.
Insurance
The complicated and rapidly changing global insurance market includes ongoing regulatory changes and low-interest rates. At the same time, people and companies seek novel approaches to preserve assets, save expenses, and defend themselves from unanticipated threats.
Our international insurance team, which includes former industry leaders, combines thorough functional understanding, a dedication to quality, and direct sector experience in every search.
Logistics & Transport
Companies throughout the world rely on suppliers of transportation and logistics. Organisations need customer service-focused CEOs with a track record of driving success in a continuously shifting global marketplace.

The ability to generate long-term success in a changing environment requires executives with international experience, great strategic understanding, and operational and commercial competencies.
Our consultants are aware that leaders in this cyclical, cutthroat, and quick-moving sector must do much more than just move goods, services, and people from point A to point b. In a wide range of industries, including third-party logistics, trucks, rail, and the ocean, we have a great deal of expertise in selecting the appropriate leaders. We also advise our clients on corporate culture, team performance, and other crucial leadership challenges.

Soon, natural resources organisations will continue to deal with challenges like climate change, political unpredictability, and rising material demand in the developing world. To secure the timely and sustainable management of operations and the supply of natural resources to their clients, many businesses are merging their operations to acquire the cash required to fund entrance into the international mining and refining markets. Success in the natural resource sector demands knowledgeable, forward-thinking executives who can create winning business plans while keeping an eye on societal, political, and environmental issues.
