A Boutique Firm with Global Reach

In 2015 Lauren Stiebing founded LS International, an organization that would revolutionize the way executive searches were conducted. From that moment on, we set out to change the game.

We don’t limit our interactions with candidates to specific job openings. Instead, we chose to forge lasting partnerships and provide unwavering support throughout the candidates’ professional journeys.

We have established ourselves as the reference in diverse executive search and talent development for the Consumer and Retail industry through a combination of the most innovative, personalized, and effective solutions. Since 2025, we have further amplified our global impact by becoming part of Kestria: the world’s largest executive search alliance.

With our partners from around the world, we now operate on a truly global scale, leveraging our high level of specialization within the consumer industry and the extensive network of Kestria.

Testimonials

Charles Oldroyd
Charles Oldroyd
Talent Director

"I worked with LS International for more than 2 years during my time at Danone, collaborating on several searches for Commercial Director-level and VP positions in global roles and some markets. More than the quality of candidates and cultural fit that LS International understood well, they were super flexible and agile : a huge advantage for us at the time. They also managed the candidate experience well despite not always getting clarity or speed from our side. I can only recommend LS International as a trusted partner for search and talent pool missions, and hope to collaborate again with them soon."

"Lauren is very approachable, open and progressive, and I was well impressed with the agility she has demonstrated to cope with different change in the process. It was refreshing and helpful to get access to the video interviews she makes available. I like how she uses Linkedln and podcast to keep talent engaged as well as potential clients. This and more makes her a very good judge of talent and well connected in different areas and geographies."

"LS International was recommended to me when I had a crucial hiring need for a senior German executive. As soon as I reached out to them time seemed to speed up! They quickly sought to really understand what my needs were produced an excellent and diverse candidate pool whom they had vetted. The shortlist I interviewed were all impressive. Most importantly though the hire we made has not only proven an excellent fit, he is making a prodigious impact both commercially and organisationally."
