Executive Search is the core business of Friis International. We help our clients achieve competitive advantage by identifying, assessing and recruiting outstanding leaders at executive, and senior and middle management levels across a wide range of industries.
Our candidates are people with a high level of energy and commitment, and who adapt easily to new conditions in a constantly changing world.
The positions we recruit for span from general to functional management positions, for example finance, sales and marketing, operations, research and development, and human resources.
We conduct Executive Search assignments for a wide variety of clients including multinational companies, mid-cap and start-up companies, as well as private equity firms and family-owned businesses.
Our clients expect quick and successful search solutions. We deliver these using proven methodologies, market intelligence and our proprietary database, which we continue to build and update.
At Friis International we enjoy close, long-term partnerships with our clients – partnerships that continue to deliver mutual advantage year after year.
The starting point for finding the leader best suited to the needs of a particular client is a thorough understanding of the client business, its culture and its strategic goals. We achieve this by establishing close working relations and an open dialogue with the client.
In every part of the process we are deeply committed to quality and we never compromise. We unfailingly meet the highest expectations of our clients and constantly focus on improving the quality of our service through our follow-up on each assignment.

Over recent years the company had been stagnating. Lack of growth and poor earnings caused our client, the Chairman of the Board, to initiate a generation change and ask us to assist in finding a new CEO.
