  2. We take on less assignments at any given time to provide greater focus and service; often more responsive than larger firms.
  3. People are naturally curious so our phone calls get returned.
  4. The partner who you met at the outset is driving the search, both strategically and tactically.
  5. As a Boutique and entrepreneurial firm, we can be more agile to suit the specific clients’ needs, urgency, and unique bespoke requirements. In today’s business world, you need to be innovative, adaptive and resilient. This is our key mantra.
