Through a curated network of C-Suite executives, we map, find and attract the best diverse executive talent across functions and geographies for consumer and retail companies.

Our retained executive search process is efficient, thorough, transparent, honest and confidential. We engage with people as human beings to truly identify the right fit for each company. In-depth interviews and the use of tools such as SuccessFinder allow us a 360º assessment opportunity.

Our objective opinion of fit and likelihood of success in the new organizational setting is based on direct and indirect evaluation of personal and professional skills, work experience, reference checks and performance records.

Talent Pipeline

Building a diverse C-Suite talent pipeline gives companies access to curated, high-quality talent without being forced into a sub-optimal rush search. 

Our Talent Pipelining services allow companies to find the right pool of candidates, for future strategic assignments that will require new sets of skills or behaviors. This is a strategic model, in which we offer our network and market expertise to those companies to reach innovative solutions which your organization may have not considered before.

LS ExecSearch Talent Pipeline service is the best way to strategically prepare for the upcoming executive hiring that your global business strategy will demand.

Board and Non-Executive Practice

Designing a board of directors is the key to a successful long-term business and to good corporate governance. A well-balanced and carefully planned board is critical for every global organization.

Our Board and Non-Executive Practice seeks to transform organizations by carefully identifying the future talent needs of the organization and finding the best executives to lead the transformation. 

Through our curated network of C-Suite talent within the consumer and retail industry, we have access to leaders who can take any organization towards their long-term objectives, paying close attention to the board’s diversity and expertise.

Industry Specialists

We are specialized in the consumer industry and that means we understand the type of talent you need for your business. We have been building relationship with top talent for years and we have access to talent that generalist agencies cannot reach. We are not recruitment consultants, we are industry experts.

Referral Only

“Great people know great people” is how the executive search was born. We work with referrals only because who is better suited to measure someone’s success than people who have worked with that individual previously. We make sure that we are not staying in small networks getting referrals to the same people, but leveraging our network to get referrals to the best diverse talent in the market.

Commitment to Diversity

Diversity improves strategic and tactical problem-solving and decision-making in organizations and has been proven to consistently lead to superior financial performance.

We at LS International are particularly passionate about diversity, and go the extra mile to identify the best diverse candidates. In the past 7 years, 45% of the candidates we have placed were women and +35% met other diversity criteria.

Even clients who do not give us a specific diversity mandate appreciate our efforts to challenge unconscious bias and infuse diversity into their workplaces.

Why do diverse talent work with us?
