HAMBURG, Germany and NEW YORK, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

In February 2021, global search company Amrop and USA-based firm JM Search

formed an exclusive strategic alliance allowing both companies to expand their

offerings and respective global reach to their clients. A year into the

partnership, this model has shown itself to be a great success and both

organizations are committed to further strengthen their relationship.

Amrop, which was established in 1977, has grown into one of the largest

leadership advisory consultancies in the world, with 65 offices in 53

countries. Prior to the JM Search partnership, it had offices in six U.S.

cities, but did not have reach across some parts of the country. JM Search was

thus the ideal partner, with its more than 40-year track record as a top-tier

independent U.S. executive search firm, with clients spanning every major

market in North America.

Since being formed in 1980 by John Marshall, JM Search has grown organically to

include over 130 employees. The team brings together former operating and

financial executives, investors and experienced search professionals with deep

industry specialization, functional expertise and proven access to talent

spanning multiple industry sectors. JM Search clients include private equity

firms and portfolio companies, venture capital-backed businesses, and publicly

held companies across North America. Through the partnership with Amrop, JM

Search is now also able to offer global search capabilities to its clients.

"A global partnership was overdue for us," says Marshall, who acts as CEO,

"especially given the growing number of clients that operate businesses in

multiple geographies."

For Amrop, the increased focus on the U.S. market offers its own opportunities,

says the company's Chair Annika Farin. She highlights how both firms bring an

entrepreneurial spirit to the market. "This makes the partnership a truly

alternative choice for clients, with an offering that holds depth and is

delivered with quality," Farin says.

"The ability to assess talent and make the right recommendations to our clients

comes down to an in-depth knowledge of our markets and the context of each

placement, and our teams being able to work together fluidly on the same

assignment without the client even realising we are two separate firms," says

Farin. "We're able to help each other achieve more than what would have been

possible alone."

Marshall agrees: "Through our partnership with Amrop, we have been able to

solve client challenges in multiple regions, which is additional value that we

can bring to our services. And we have been able to connect our regional

networks between more than a dozen private-equity funds in a coordinated,

global manner."

Together, the two organizations maintain the independent edge they have both

forged in their markets, while expanding their reach and deepening their

specialist expertise and skills. The result is a comprehensive suite of talent

sourcing that prides itself on speed and agility, and the ability to view

talent through both a hyper-local and visionary global lens. This affords the

opportunity for more rigorous searches for highly attractive leaders.
