“Grant Alexander has been in existence for about thirty years and has the distinction of being a multi-specialist group, with senior consultants, most of whom are former executives, possessing deep industry and functional expertise. Today, the group operates across three main areas: Executive Search (headhunting or direct approach recruitment), Executive Interim (interim management), which involves placing a temporary executive in a company to help drive transformation urgently and for a fixed period, and finally, Leadership and Organizational Development. As part of its internationalization strategy, Grant Alexander has committed to contributing to the emergence of the African continent by deploying its expertise locally and sustainably. This mission has been entrusted to Kadia Sylla Moisson, Africa Development Director.”<\/em>

Our President, Henri Vidalinc, aims to enter markets facing major recruitment and skills development challenges, doing so respectfully of local economic, social, and cultural specifics, relying, for example in Abidjan, on a local expert, with adaptation and proximity as guiding principles.
