The Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC), the global professional association representing the quality standard in executive search and leadership advisory solutions, announced the approval of human capital specialists, Leathwaite, into its global membership. The firm’s acceptance follows extensive vetting, including reference checks, site visits, votes by AESC regional councils and commitment to the AESC Code of Professional Practice.

Founded in 1999, Leathwaite was established with one clear purpose: to help organizations secure the best Human Capital within Enablement & Control Functions. With offices based in London, New York, Hong Kong and Zürich, the firm partners with a global client base of over 150 clients. As Leathwaite celebrates its 20th year, the company continues to grow and diversify beyond its core executive search business, providing an interconnected range of talent, business intelligence and management services, as well as innovative new tech solutions such as The Pay Index. The success of the firm has been underpinned by the level of appointments, the strength of relationships maintained with some of the world’s most cutting edge businesses and its ability to act as trusted advisor to its clients in an increasingly cluttered marketplace.

Leathwaite’s Head of Americas, Paul Groce commented, “We are delighted to join AESC as global members and look forward to collaborating with the industry’s top search professionals to shape the future of the search and advisory landscape.
