26. We are a growing, boutique search firm that is partner-owned and operated. We are proudly Canadian with an entrepreneurial culture and driven by leading edge strategies to secure leadership talent that aligns with the company’s stage of evolution in its life cycle. For example, for the growth-oriented company, the type of leadership talent required to foster and manage growth is unique in and of itself. The leadership competencies revolve around a focus on the asset side of the balance sheet, and how you maximize the performance of those assets effectively to aggressively add to the ‘top line’ without damaging the ‘bottom line’. Our firm has a long history and continues to maintain a solid presence in large, ‘blue chip’ organizations in Canada. We have also been doing some innovative work with Income Trusts, particularly in the mid-market as many of them are preparing to move towards a corporate structure by the 2011 tax year. Critical in this area is understanding the changing nature of stakeholder expectations. We work together with the organization to help transition the profile of the leadership team to align with those expectations. Additionally, we have established a reputation in the mid-cap market where we have been working with Merchant Banks and Private Equity firms (both institutional and high net worth), and have expanded our platform at their request to include essential services in Leadership Evaluation / Calibration and Integration to support retention.
