Excellence, Integrity + Impact CDO/Diversity Leadership We recruit equity, diversity, and inclusion leadership across all sectors, and conduct searches for founding diversity officers as well as for successors. Our ExperienceWe have worked with many of our clients to recruit chief diversity officers across all sectors, though the majority of our equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) leadership searches are within higher education.Some institutions launch chief diversity officer searches with the benefit of initial institution-wide conversations and buy-in, while others respond when a flashpoint necessitates a search. In every case, we seek to learn the genesis of the institution’s aspirations, motivations, and goals because those elements influence a candidate’s interest. Our RelationshipsThrough many EDI leadership searches, we have developed trusted relationships and professional credibility that enable us to identify and attract candidates with the level of executive leadership, political finesse, diplomacy, intellectual creativity, and strategic vision required to be successful.
