The social economy is critical to a healthy, balanced global economy and never before has the work of nonprofit organizations been more visible and vital. The current era of connectivity has introduced new business models and new players, disrupting and flattening conventional approaches and creating far-reaching implications for global development and social enterprises. With pressure on traditional models of development, innovations are emerging and generating significant catalytic effects in the sector.

Boards and senior leaders of global nonprofit organizations now face growing pressure to create solutions with involvement from private and public sectors. Our Global Development & Social Enterprise (GDSE) consultants understand the complexities confronting your organization and we are committed to helping you find senior leaders who will have a long-term impact.

We are committed to your success.

For more than 25 years, we have recruited CEOs, presidents and change-makers to social enterprise organizations spanning foundations, implementers and private companies that focus on global social needs. We partner across all sectors, from global health and digital impact to the youth bulge and poverty alleviation.
Over the past five years, we’ve conducted nearly 200 senior-level executive and board searches on behalf of leading development and philanthropy organizations around the world. The majority of our work in this space is for C-suite roles and more than half is for chief executives.
