The world is changing fast, and these last few years have been uniquely unpredictable. The path forward for companies across sectors requires new thinking, new paths of growth, and meaningful change if they are to pursue those opportunities and meet them with success. Companies of every size and stage must consider significant, often bold moves to stay competitive. It might be about an entirely new business model, global or national expansion, M&A, ERP implementation, AI and other digital technologies, channel development, IPO readiness, or others. Transformative change requires transformative leaders, especially those crafting and overseeing strategy.
Heidrick & Struggles has a differentiated record of 70+ years of identifying, placing, and developing agile leaders who can identify and assess the largest opportunities and threats. That includes not only chief strategy officers but also transformation and restructuring officers and other top talent leading corporate development, strategy and operations, planning, project management, and other areas. We work with clients ranging from the Fortune 10 to rising midcap businesses to privately held players and across a network of deeply experienced, proven leaders.
