The role of the Non-Executive Board has increasingly become a critical issue for many organizations. Enforced by the recent financial crisis and new regulations, a rising number of companies demand enhanced corporate governance and review the composition of their boards as well as the individual qualification and performance of its members.

In addition to our Executive Search work, we have conducted numerous searches for suitable and independent Directors to bring specific competencies and new skill sets as well as diverse and international backgrounds to the boardroom of companies across all industry segments. Non-Executive Director searches have become our fastest growing client service, often requested in parallel or following the successful completion of a senior leadership position.

Recently, we have completed the following Non-Executive Director searches:

• Chairman of a large real estate company

• Chairman of a globally operating industrial group

• Chairman of a large company in the aircraft maintenance business

• Chairman of a highly successful retail group
