What we do

CEO Search & Succession

At Egon Zehnder, we have spent more than 50 years focused on chief executive leadership transitions all over the world. We recognize that the appointment of a CEO is not a one-time event, but rather a journey for the executive, board, company, and key stakeholders.

Board Advisory

Shareholders and society as a whole now expect much more from boards of directors, as part of increased scrutiny of our institutions. In addition, there is a growing demand from senior executives for their boards to provide judgment and wisdom on how to “do things better,” taking advantage of global and technological opportunities while avoiding traps and ensuring growth and sustainability.

Diversity & Inclusion

The Diversity and Inclusion Practice works with clients across industries and regions to build diverse leadership teams in inclusive cultures by addressing recruitment, integration, and development practices for diverse talent.

Leadership Solutions

Globalization. Convergence. Disruption. The demands on leadership have never been greater. This is why companies today want more than a consultant; they want to co-create customized leadership solutions in true partnership with trusted, long-term advisors.

We believe in...
