Building Leadership Excellence Since 1997
For nearly three decades, Harvard Group International has been the trusted partner for organizations seeking exceptional executive talent.
A Legacy of Leadership Excellence
Harvard Group International was founded in 1997 with a clear vision: to provide Fortune 500-caliber executive search services with the personalized attention of a boutique firm.
From the beginning, we understood that executive hiring is among the most consequential decisions an organization makes. The right leader can transform a company; the wrong one can set it back years. This understanding drives everything we do.
Over nearly three decades, we have built a team of experienced search professionals who bring deep industry expertise, extensive networks, and rigorous methodology to every engagement. Our consultants average over 20 years of executive search experience.
Today, we serve clients across twelve industries, from Fortune 500 corporations to private equity portfolio companies to nonprofit organizations. Our services span retained executive search, board services, and leadership consulting.
