Executive Search

Most leadership searches start with
the wrong diagnosis.

We diagnose the investment thesis, organizational health, leadership capability and culture first. That gives us a clear view of what the business actually needs from its next leader before the search opens.

Decades of work on what drives executive success in mid-sized companies. More than 40 research studies, coupled with live PE search experience, shape the Averan process.

Diagnosis

On every search we assess the investment thesis and the business dynamics at play — engaging the company’s leadership and operating partners, and asking tough questions about performance, challenges and levers for growth.

Alignment

Five Dimensions of Alignment test fit for the role and fit for the environment the leader has to operate in, so we find people who thrive in it.

Fast-Cycle

We’re highly communicative and responsive, using every conversation to inform the search.

Integration

We have training and coaching designed to fast-forward executive success.
