Ascentador: Executive Search & Talent Advisory

We are problem solvers focused on helping companies optimize their most valuable asset: talent.

When we see companies succeeding, executives advancing, or innovation increasing, we see talent on the rise.

The Approach

At the heart of all our work is understanding garnered from our proprietary Diagnostic Process. Marrying a powerful intuitive capacity with validated tools for organizational, individual and management assessment, this approach often uncovers what other eyes have missed.

The Work

Skilled at operating on a multi-national, multi-cultural basis, Ascentador never utilizes off-the-shelf approaches or service offerings. Instead we generate bespoke solutions for clients on the basis of deep data.

The Markets

Our clients are in every region of the world (Asia, the Americas and EMEA) and cut across many industries, sectors and governance structures. What unites them all is their desire for a more effective approach to solving problems.

  • Consumer products clients, including 27 in the Fortune 500
  • Financial services clients, of which 68 for publicly-traded companies
  • Professional services clients, of which 50 for management consulting firms

The Journey

Ascentador was founded in 2008 by a group of like-minded partners determined to reinvent the marketplace and has since evolved into an “open architecture” platform of independent experts who bring their capabilities to bear in whatever combinations and locations best serve our clients.

The Exchange

Ascentador partners deliberately spend time listening, reading, talking and writing on a range of topics impacting careers, talent and the workplace. We welcome guest authors to participate in this exchange of ideas with us and with our followers.
