This heightens the focus on our superior ability to deliver world-class executives even for the most demanding of assignments. Our new icon with intersecting globes represents our ability to seamlessly interact on cross-border assignments and our enhanced web presence delivers fresh content and key analysis of industry trends,” says Fuller.
“Clients look to us for the latest trends and news in the industry from the perspective of a leading search firm with a pulse on the global marketplace,” adds Albert Hiribarrondo, IMD International board president and managing partner of partner firm, SIRCA in Paris, France.
