Being a boutique executive search firm means that we have around 50 opportunities a year. We may not always have the right match at the time you are looking, but that doesn’t mean we cannot help. As a candidate, there are many things you can do to be well-positioned in the market. Even if there isn’t a role available with one of our clients, we can still help. We have designed a tailor-made service specifically to fit your needs. After interviewing thousands of executive candidates, we have realized that the executive search service is leaving out candidates which do not immediately fit with an open position. We understand that our business is finding “A needle in a haystack” but we also want to support those executives who do not fit with one of our open roles. This is why we have built a career consultancy service that is tailor-made for you. Whether that is staying in corporate, starting your own business, or changing careers. How we can help? 🤳 Personal Branding Session Depending on when you entered into the workforce, personal branding may look quite different today. Make sure you are putting your best self forward both physically and digitally. 👋 3 key introductions With our network of global executives, we are perfectly positioned to introduce you to the right leaders within the companies you would like to work for. We want to help you land your dream job. ✍️ Interview Preparation We can support you and make sure you are fully prepared for the interview, by not only prepping you for the expected interview questions, but by doing a deep dive into the company and its culture to make sure you are well prepared.

We invited Roy Wentzel, the Business Lead Strategic Growth Markets Global Ecommerce at PUMA Group, and Mary Palmieri, the Director of Client Development at Tall Ridge, to discuss with us how to successfully define and execute a D2C strategy. Online D2C has experienced exponential growth over the past couple of years. Last year’s events have accelerated this even more, and in 2021 the D2C market is projected to grow by a staggering 19.2%! 2020 was life changing in many aspects, from one day to the next, everything became remote, and consumer behavior changed dramatically. It is within this context that companies are finding new ways to interact with consumers and D2C is entering a new era. A study by Shopify shows that the D2C movement accounts for 40% of the sales growth in the sector. In this podcast, May and Roy debate with us about customer buying behaviour and businesses’ strategies to approach it in the most effective way, with great examples of big retailers like Amazon.

Women’s experiences as parents in the workplace are completely different from men’s. Men get a “fatherhood wage premium,” while mothers encounter a “motherhood penalty” in wages and advancement opportunities. One might think that women without children have workplace advantages on a par with their male counterparts. But they don’t. The maternal wall hinders all women’s careers, whether they plan to have children or not. Women without children face four biases. First, they face the “maybe baby” bias, when women are not hired or promoted due to an assumption that they would become mothers. They also experience a “do more” bias, where women with no children found that they were expected to work longer and harder than their peers with children. Third, they face a “pay less” bias, where they are seen as less deserving financially because they were “not working to support a family.” Finally, there is a “never quite right” bias, where women are perceived as less worthy of positions, promotions, and earnings than their male colleagues, whether women want or have children, or not.
