executive search professionals
we are not a big firm, and we don’t want to be
The Global Leadership Society is a retained executive search firm that partners with VC/PE backed and public companies to place leaders at all levels. We have vast experience and expertise in all functional areas. We know the market, we know the talent, and we can put the right leaders in front of you.
We are not a big firm, and we don't want to be. Larger firms have one main disadvantage. They are unable to recruit from their previous clients, and they have a lot of clients. We prefer to work with a smaller select group of companies to build a deeper relationship and provide them access to a more comprehensive global talent network that the big firms are unable to tap.
What also makes us different is that we’ve created an Advisory Board of executives that joins us on search projects. These Advisors are current leaders performing the duties that the client is trying to fill. Let your peers help you hire. Our Advisors understand the needs of clients at a much more intimate level because they are currently or have recently solved similar problems. They know what good looks like and can attract & assess that talent at a level that others firms cannot provide. To see our Advisors, please click here.

Areas of Practice
Our body of work spans across early stage & high growth VC/PE backed and public companies. This includes placements for c-suite executives, VPs, directors, and expert contributors.
Technology

Go To Market
This practice is dedicated to helping clients hire CROs, CMOs, and CGOs. Chief growth officers, global sales leaders and digital marketing experts are in high demand. These are often one of the first hires for a high growth startup. Do you have the right person in this seat with a proven repeatable playbook for growth?
CEO / President / Board
We help clients with their entire evolution of growth. If that requires a new CEO/President or adding a new Board member, we can help. Start-ups that are ready to move on from Founder led growth or public companies trying to reinvent or drive digital transformation, these are often reasons why clients engage with us for these roles.
CFOs, COOs, Chief People Officers, and Chief Legal Officers fall under this practice. These are critical business partners that shape growth, culture, talent, values, fiduciary responsibility, and P&L for your business. We can help get the right person and their successors into your organization.
Finance / Operations / People / Legal
Being a minority-owned business, we have a deep passion for this space. Leverage our extensive research and network for underrepresented minorities (URM) and women leaders (specifically technology). DEI creates an engaged and inspired workforce that will innovate products and services to wow customers and shareholders. Solving for these stakeholders in that order, employees > customers > shareholders is the way our clients like to win.
