+53% in turnover: infectious enthusiasm !

A SUCCESSFUL, PROFITABLE, AGILE 2018 FOR GRANT ALEXANDER.

 

With €8.5 million, 2018 showed an impressive 53% increase in turnover, thanks to both organic growth and the fact that new consultants joined Executive Search, Executive Interim and the HR Committee.

 

As of January 2019, the firm has 38 staff divided between its various business lines, including nine people in charge of research focused on direct approaches to Executive applicants.

 

Grant Alexander Executive Search continues to develop as a multispecialist HR firm.

The specialist consultants who swelled our ranks in 2018 now enable us to offer expert solutions in over ten sector-specific and functional practices.

Alongside our longstanding expertise in Industry, the Non-trading sector, Financial Services, Healthcare, Distribution & Media, Property, B to B Services and IT and Finance activities, we have created the Digital Practice with the arrival of Christophe de Bueil, and boosted the HR Practice. We have also strengthened our skills in the Automobile & Transport Practice with Christophe Muyllaert, and in the Healthcare Practice with Marc-Antoine Zagamé.

 

We are also keen to increase Grant Alexander’s regional presence so that we can provide appropriate local solutions.

After Paris, Lyon and Marseille, we opened a branch in Nantes, managed by Godefroy de La Bourdonnaye.

 

Transition Management now has five consultants working for it, and posted growth of over 80% last year.

To assist its rapid development, a new specialist in this field joined us in late 2018: Marie Paillard, who has 18 years’ experience in recruiting executives and managers. 

 

With international business, the firm now has the means to develop its presence through local partnerships, particularly in the North America and Africa zones.  

It is preparing for deployment in French-and English-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa with the arrival of Kadia Moisson, Development Consultant for Africa, who now shores up the international platform led by Christophe Muyllaert.

 

Athlete Thinking, our philosophy, is more relevant than ever.  

In terms of leadership development, overseen by Sybille Delaporte, we have created customized programmes and new tools for optimizing managerial skills and the individual/collective performance of managers and their teams. These work on the mental aspects that improve performance and are based on our Athlete Thinking® methodology, designed with sports coaches and mental preparation counselors: Onboarding AT, to help staff members get settled in a new post; 360° AT, designed to develop personal leadership, and Parcours Premium Leaders AT for the collective development of managers.

 

GUIDED BY COMMITMENT AND ENTHUSIASM, 2019 OPENS NEW HORIZONS FOR HUMAN EXPERIENCE TO BE SHARED WITH OUR CLIENTS AND APPLICANTS.
