Sector focus and expertise
Our consultants cannot deliver sustainable value for clients unless they understand their industries in a fundamental way, sensing market conditions and challenges, and having a direct view of “what great looks like” in each industry.
At Witena Executive Search, we therefore limit ourselves to a few sectors, sectors that we can know from the inside. Most of our partners have substantial line management experience in their chosen industries. This focused approach helps us maintain up-to-the-minute market knowledge and an active top talent network in each market.
