These results also supported our decision to continue expanding our consultant base; we hired 40 new Consultants in 2020.”
The financial results also pay tribute to Egon Zehnder’s flexibility and resilience, added Jill Ader, Chair of the Firm. “Our adaptability in the face of the crisis has been second to none,” she said. “As a Firm led by our strong values, we made the decision to create psychological safety without layoffs so we could be utterly client-focused. Our colleagues around the world worked together to find new ways to serve our clients in these times when they needed us most.”
