Andersen Consulting Expands Human Capital Capabilities with Lansdowne Executive Search Collaboration

Andersen Consulting has strengthened its human capital practice through a new Collaboration Agreement with Lansdowne Executive Search, a Dublin-based firm specializing in executive search, interim management, and board-level appointments.

The move enhances Andersen Consulting’s leadership advisory capabilities in Ireland and supports growing client demand for senior-level talent solutions in an increasingly complex hiring environment.

Deepening Leadership Advisory in Ireland

Founded in 2015, Lansdowne Executive Search is an Irish-owned, partner-led boutique firm delivering C-suite executive search, fractional executive placements, and board advisory services. The firm has built a reputation for hands-on senior leadership involvement in every client engagement—an approach that differentiates it in competitive leadership markets.

Lansdowne serves a broad range of sectors, including:

  • Financial services

  • Construction

  • Nonprofit

  • Agriculture

  • Higher education

  • Public sector

  • TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications)

Tom Keane, partner at Lansdowne Executive Search, emphasized the strategic value of the collaboration:

“Great leadership is contextual and getting it right means understanding far more than just a resume. Collaborating with Andersen Consulting gives us the scale and access to expertise we need to continue to compete at a higher level in the Irish market. We’re better positioned to win the opportunities that matter while continuing to deliver the thoughtful, tailored service our clients value most.”

Scaling Human Capital Strategy

For Andersen Consulting, the agreement reinforces its commitment to integrated human capital advisory—an increasingly critical component of enterprise transformation initiatives.

Mark L. Vorsatz, global chairman and CEO of Andersen Global, highlighted Lansdowne’s experience-driven approach:

“In a talent market that’s ever evolving, Lansdowne stands out for what can’t be taught — discernment earned through decades of experience. Their ability to identify and shape transformative leaders makes them a strong addition as we help clients build resilient, future-ready leadership teams.”

A Broader Multidisciplinary Platform

Andersen Consulting operates as a global consulting platform delivering services across:

It integrates within the broader multidimensional service model of Andersen Global, which provides tax, legal, valuation, global mobility, and advisory services through a worldwide network of more than 50,000 professionals across 1,000+ locations.

The collaboration with Lansdowne strengthens Andersen Consulting’s ability to align executive talent strategy with broader organizational transformation efforts—particularly in markets where leadership agility and governance expertise are becoming competitive differentiators.

Why It Matters

Executive search is increasingly intersecting with strategic consulting, as organizations face rapid digital transformation, regulatory complexity, and shifting workforce expectations. By combining boutique executive search expertise with global consulting scale, the partnership positions both firms to deliver more integrated leadership solutions.

In a market where board readiness, succession planning, and interim leadership agility are top priorities, this collaboration signals continued convergence between consulting and executive talent advisory.
