Andersen Consulting is doubling down on its human capital strategy. The firm today announced a collaboration agreement with HAGER Executive Consulting, a European executive search and governance specialist, to extend its global reach in leadership advisory services.
Founded in 1996, HAGER has carved out a strong niche in executive search, board services, and leadership development across sectors like healthcare, financial services, and industrial markets. The firm’s model leans heavily on its proprietary methodology, which focuses on matching leadership potential with the demands of business transformation.
“Executive search is about more than filling a position—it’s about recognizing potential and building leadership that endures,” said Martin Krill, Managing Partner of HAGER. “Through collaboration with Andersen Consulting, we’re amplifying that mission on a global scale.”
For Andersen, the move strengthens its human capital portfolio, a critical component of its multidimensional consulting model that already spans corporate strategy, business transformation, technology, and AI. The firm operates under the umbrella of Andersen Global, with a network of 20,000 professionals across 600+ locations worldwide.
“HAGER’s reputation is built on precision, trust, and a deep understanding of leadership dynamics,” said Mark L. Vorsatz, Global Chairman and CEO of Andersen. “Their proven methodology and strategic perspective further expand our ability to support clients with identifying the proper talent to shape long-term business success.”
The timing is notable. With boards under pressure to navigate digital disruption, ESG mandates, and global workforce shifts, demand for high-caliber leadership consulting is surging. Rivals like Korn Ferry and Heidrick & Struggles are also leaning into governance and leadership advisory to differentiate themselves from traditional search firms. Andersen’s tie-up with HAGER signals a similar push: not just placing executives, but reshaping how boards and leadership teams evolve for the future.
