Heidrick & Struggles grew 39 percent in 1997, with the brilliant acquisition of Mülder & Partners (a top German firm) and Fenwick Partners (a technology firm near Boston). Aggressive worldwide hiring of outstanding consultants with proven track records. Leaders in advanced technology, CEO/non-executives and general industry search. Strong culture of specialty practice groups. Getting much stronger in Latin America and Asia (where it grew 74 percent in 1997). One of the top two firms in Europe."
