Partners

We are a premier Board & Executive Search, Selection, Assessment, Development, and Investment Firm as well as the leading bespoke advisory at the intersection of alternative asset investment and government-influenced & heavily regulated markets.

Why We’re Different

A fully transparent, dynamic client platform delivers project completion rates approximately one-third faster than competitors due to client’s ability to evaluate details & analyses and, if desired, communicate thoughts or mandates real-time. Median time to completion is 40-60 business days.

Our Team

OUR TEAM

Absolute Alignment

Our trademarked delivery process, Absolute Alignment™, is a defined, repeatable process that utilizes 9 proprietary evaluative tools & proven comprehensive talent optimization disciplines. This proven search, selection, and talent optimization playbook is the foundation of our success.

The Single P&L Model

It has been our experience that NorthWind’s remunerative and billing structures promote true teamwork that is of the greatest benefit to a client in addressing their need with complete diligence and in a timely fashion.

Our Results

“I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.” ― Winston Churchill

There are quite a few selection and assessment firms in the global market. Every firm posits differentiator(s) or competitive advantage(s), whether real or fabricated, so it can be overwhelming to select the best partner for an organization’s human capital requirements. Ultimately,“the proof is in the pudding”. We believe our results over the course of 13 years and 600+ projects proffer the greatest mitigation of risk.
