As such, our team provides advice regarding (and to) the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Senior Management population of the largest multinational companies in these regions and beyond.
For (Associate) Director roles in our team, we are looking for colleagues that are willing to further develop, coach and mentor talent to improve team performance, while building and developing diverse teams.
