History

IESF was founded in 2002 by partners in Asia and Europe with a clear vision of growing a Global Group, unhindered by corporate restrictions and rigidity and clients’ growing needs.

IESF partners are business leaders experienced in addressing the requirements of growing businesses around the world. Carefully selected and vetted firms may enter into partnerships with IESF, to enrich and broaden our global search abilities.

IESF has rapidly proliferated around the globe as clients demanded executive search and leadership in new planetary markets and industries. A people-centric enterprise, with global influence and local expertise, IESF lets clients reach these leaders, so they can understand and then meet their needs in a new business environment.

By 2007, IESF was the world’s largest search firm. IESF continues to grow by meeting client needs in every corner of the globe.
