Since 2021, Avant Advisors has been supporting clients in finding versatile leaders and in building inclusive leadership teams. This was made possible by our focus on new ways of working and the most modern perspectives on leadership.
Our search process has been built on global best practice, taking it to the next level for the best client and candidate experience as well as for the highest possible integrity, fairness and equality.
The premise on which Avant Advisors was founded is that real competitive edge is achieved by building diverse, equal leadership teams and boards. This requires a special focus on equal, bias-free executive recruitment and talent decisions.
As modern advisors we have the courage and the ability to challenge the status quo and to dare to think out-of-the box. This applies to candidate profiles, team compositions, industry practices and ways of working. At the same time, this translates to the highest level of integrity and objectivity in everything we do.
And yes, it also means that high caliber consultants can be friendly, approachable and agile - simply a pleasure to work with.
Today, when business is global and work is often remote and borderless, talent can be found anywhere across countries, regions and business sectors.
Therefore, by utilizing the latest technology, our global experience and collaboration with our international strategic partners, we can achieve global reach for our clients.
