Egon Zehnder is a global executive search firm. Egon Zehnder is the world's largest privately held executive search firm and the third largest executive search and talent strategy firm globally.[5] The firm offers services and expertise in the fields of Executive Search, Board Consulting and Leadership Strategy Services.

History

The firm was founded in 1964 by Egon P.S. Zehnder (a 1956 Harvard Business School graduate) and would later grow to having 68 offices in 40 countries.[2]

In 1992, The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr. Egon Zehnder, who at the time was 62, had transitioned out of running the firm and that A. Daniel Meiland, who had been the firm's regional director for North America, would be named chairman of the executive committee and chief executive officer of the company.[6]

In 2000, The Wall Street Journal reported that Egon Zehnder International (as the company was called at the time) was the largest executive search firm in Europe.[1]

From 2008 to 2014, Damien O’Brien was the chief executive officer.[4] O'Brien began serving as Chairman in 2010.[4] Currently Rajeev Vasudeva serves as CEO[3]

Corporate structure

In 2013, The Wall Street Journal reported the firm has some 1,200 employees, including 420 consultants.[7] In early 2013, the firm rebranded worldwide, dropping International from its name.
