Financial Services

With 135 consultants globally, Egon Zehnder’s Financial Services Practice is the largest in the industry. We have carried out more than 6,000 assignments for our clients over the past five years, including 300 CEO searches, with demonstrated strength in talent advisory, CEO succession, and C-suite assessment, development, and coaching.

In our view, Egon Zehnder’s success comes in part from our commitment to hiring exclusively from industry. This model ensures our consultants have firsthand knowledge of the issues confronting leaders in the rapidly transforming financial services space.

Egon Zehnder’s truly global structure and approach are more relevant than ever in today’s environment, in which the ideal candidate for a role may reside beyond regional borders. As opposed to other firms, which rely heavily on individuals, all our 66 offices across 36 countries stand ready to solve any client issue, empowered by a unique incentive system that encourages collaboration while leveraging local market expertise.

Given continually changing regulatory requirements, the growing impact of data analytics, the emergence of disruptive business models as barriers to market entry erode, and ongoing geopolitical complexities, Egon Zehnder’s deep expertise and integrated approach are positioned to enable financial services firms to address any leadership challenges.
