CHICAGO, Dec. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heidrick & Struggles
(Nasdaq: HSII), a leading provider of global leadership and talent
solutions, has expanded its global Climate & Sustainability
Practice. This dedicated practice, led by Scott Atkinson, Partner & Global Head of
Climate & Sustainability Practice at Heidrick & Struggles,
helps businesses tackle climate challenges and achieve
sustainability goals.
"Accelerating sustainability is a complex undertaking that
requires having the right leadership and resources in place," said
Jenni Hibbert, global managing
partner, Go-To-Market, and regional leader of Europe & Africa. "We already have a proven track record
of helping our clients achieve that—whether through executive
placements or consulting and advisory. The addition of new leaders
in Europe bolsters our
capabilities even further to assist clients around the world as
they navigate climate risk and create a more sustainable
future."
In addition to unifying talent and expertise across the firm,
Heidrick & Struggles hired four new leaders to strengthen our
work in Europe and beyond. Uroš
Zver, Rafe
Jackson, and William
Gibbs will play a pivotal role in advancing our
Global Technology and Climate & Sustainability Practices,
supporting high-growth climate tech ventures as well as established
companies in their decarbonization efforts. Additionally, with a
background in venture and growth equity, Edmund Thomson Jones will help
accelerate the growth of our Venture Capital Practice. These four
leaders come to Heidrick from True, a leading global search firm
specializing in the venture and growth space.
"Alongside our existing team of consultants, our four new
partners further strengthen our ability to support premier
organizations across the public and private capital sectors," said
Scott Atkinson. "We help our clients
solve today's most critical global challenges and unlock business
value creation opportunities in the process. With COP30 approaching next year and the demand for
global executive talent rising, our clients benefit from our
growing international expertise in executive search and consulting,
giving them a competitive edge on a planetary scale."
