Leadership advisory and search firm with 500+ advisors in 47 offices

Overview

Russell Reynolds Associates is a privately held leadership advisory and executive search firm with more than 50 years of experience. It states that its team of more than 500 leadership advisors works across 25 countries and 47 offices, and reports a 96% client satisfaction score.[8][9]

Its services span board, CEO and executive search; board, CEO and C-suite succession; assessment and benchmarking, executive development and team performance; board composition and effectiveness; and transformation work on AI, culture and sustainability. Its executive search page states that searches can be completed in as little as 14 weeks.[9]

The firm does not publish revenue or ownership details on its website, so its size relative to listed peers rests on its stated advisor and office counts.[8][9] With 47 offices, its footprint is concentrated in major financial and business centres rather than spread across smaller markets, where network firms such as Boyden or Stanton Chase claim more countries.
