Our Sectors

Trade & Economic Development

Our extensive experience working with trade-focused clients, economic development organisations and international funds has given us an unrivalled understanding of what makes these organisations tick, and the type of people needed to drive forward ambitious agendas.

We’ve identified, appointed and supported leaders across the myriad of roles within complex multi-national organisations, from Technical Specialists to Chief Finance Officers and Executive Directors.

We understand that our clients in this space operate in multiple geographies on multifaceted development issues, which is why our geographically diverse and multilingual team are expertly placed to advise on leadership recruitment and development.
