We believe every business question requires a human answer. It’s why in a sea of leadership advisory and executive search firms, Egon Zehnder stands out. Founded in 1987, our Los Angeles office is Egon Zehnder’s longest-standing location in vibrant California. Whether you’re a Fortune 50 company or a founder-led high-growth business, we’re here to help you navigate your specific challenges.

When it comes to executive search, we measure ourselves on the impact of our placements, not the placement alone. We assess potential, not just capabilities. However, our services extend far beyond executive search. We make individuals, teams, organizations and culture better. Our clients come to us for a range of leadership advisory needs, including succession planning; diagnosing, transforming and scaling culture; board mandates; team effectiveness reviews; and helping Founder-led businesses.

What sets us apart is our industry and functional experience. Our team understands your challenges because we have faced them, having previously served as executives across a diverse range of companies. We bring a wealth of firsthand experience to the table from having operated at companies such as Google, Twilio, Zynga, Warner Brothers Discovery, Snap, Manchester United, Major League Baseball, Aon, Endeavor, Goldman Sachs, and The New York Times, among others, and served at institutions such as the U.S. Army and Navy.

But it’s not just about what we know—it's about how we apply it to your needs. We nurture deep relationships, often spanning entire careers. With our blend of compassion, generosity and results-orientation, we are here to be your trusted partners every step of your journey.
