What we do

We are a preeminent talent consultancy with more than 60 years of combined experience focused on identifying key executive talent. Our collaborative approach enables us to build and develop world-class leadership teams that drive long-term growth.

A Proven Process That Delivers Results

1. MEETING

A core part of our business is understanding your business. We meet with your team to understand your strategy, leadership challenges and talent needs.

2. PLANNING

We map out an action plan to identify and assess leading internal and external candidates as well as expert executives from outside your immediate field.

3. RESEARCH

We pair our experience in key industries with a proprietary research process to identify, analyze and screen a select roster of leading candidates.

4. DELIVERY

After an exhaustive vetting process that includes assessments and in-person interviews, we present a short-list of top candidates for client consideration.

The Challenge

Executives are not created equally. Today´s brutally competitive business landscape—across all industries and sectors—calls for a unique and scarce type of talent. These leaders must be able to craft a differentiated business strategy and also execute on it. Critically, they must also be capable of inspiring management teams, and entire organizations, to action.

At XENTIA, our team brings more than 6 decades of combined executive search experience. We understand the skills and underlying competencies that separate merely good executives from outstanding leaders who are ready to build and transform an organization and drive growth over the long term.
