The Project

A leading global sustainability consultancy engaged HRI to support the search for a new Managing Partner to lead its Northern Europe Business Unit—the firm’s largest and most complex division, with approximately 900 employees. The project focused on identifying a strong pipeline of potential candidates through detailed market mapping and targeted outreach. In addition to profiling c50 individuals aligned to the role’s requirements, the engagement included a series of in-depth conversations with informed industry figures to gather insight, validate findings, and surface high-quality recommendations. This intelligence-led approach was designed to strengthen our client’s leadership proposition in a critical and competitive part of the business.
