# Lense & Lumen Advisory Group > Lense & Lumen Advisory Group is an international executive search alliance of independent, owner-led member firms, founded in 2017. It delivers retained executive search, leadership assessment, executive coaching, and management development across 18 countries and 25+ industries — combining the cross-border reach of a global network with the high-touch, confidential service of a boutique. The alliance is a partnership-driven alternative to traditional international recruitment networks: each member firm keeps its own identity and regional specialization while collaborating on cross-border searches under shared standards of integrity, confidentiality, and partner-led accountability. Engagements are led personally by senior partners, the firm has served 1,000+ clients on C-level and senior leadership mandates, and it offers one of the strongest placement guarantees in the market. Core services: - **Retained Executive Search** — research-driven recruitment of C-level and senior leaders, with partner accountability and strict confidentiality. - **Leadership Assessment** — role-based personality and competency assessments measuring strengths, potential, and cultural fit. - **Executive Coaching** — one-on-one leadership development to sharpen strategic execution. - **Management Development** — structured 6–12 month programs, with reported returns of 5–10× the investment. ## Main pages - [Home](https://lladvisorygroup.com/): Overview of the alliance, its services, and global reach. - [About Lense & Lumen](https://lladvisorygroup.com/about-lense-lumen/): The firm's story, 2017 founding by four European firms, values, and how the owner-led alliance works. - [Become a Client](https://lladvisorygroup.com/become-a-client/): For companies hiring executives across borders — global reach paired with local, boutique-style expertise. - [Become a Partner](https://lladvisorygroup.com/become-a-partner/): For independent executive search firms interested in joining the alliance. - [Contact](https://lladvisorygroup.com/contact/): Email, phone, and a contact form for hiring or partnership inquiries. ## Member firms - [Dr. Maier + Partner](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/dr-maier-partner/): Germany — automotive, engineering, and cross-sector management search. - [De Bord International](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/de-bord-international/): Switzerland — luxury & prestige goods, FMCG, life sciences, construction, and professional services. - [Vauban](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/vauban/): France — direct-approach senior leadership search for innovators, mid-caps, and family businesses. - [&deBlauw](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/deblauw/): Netherlands — executive search, interim management, and consulting. - [MenT Associates](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/ment-associates/): Belgium — industry, logistics, construction, energy, and IT/telecom. - [Arethusa](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/arethusa/): Italy — executive search for middle and senior management. - [mBlue Czech](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/mblue-czech/): Czech Republic & Slovakia — specialized technical and managerial roles. - [Hansen Toft](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/hansen-toft/): Denmark (Aarhus, Copenhagen, Kolding) — executive search and leadership consulting. - [Skagerak Consulting](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/skagerak-consulting/): Norway — executive search, leadership assessment, and organizational development. - [Stardust Search](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/stardust-search/): Sweden — CxO and board-member recruitment. - [Oryx Executive Search](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/oryx-executive-search/): United Kingdom (London, Bristol) — board and senior management across automotive, aerospace, cleantech, healthcare, and more. - [Lock Search Group](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/lock-search-group/): Canada & USA — sales, leadership, and executive roles in life sciences, CPG, industrial, and B2B/technology. - [Associated Search Professionals](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/associated-search-professionals-pvt-ltd/): India — engineering, manufacturing, consumer goods, energy, infrastructure, telecom, financial services, and IT. - [FES Partners](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/fes-partners/): Asia-Pacific — executive search, HR consulting, and interim management across machinery, medical devices, automotive, and technology. ## Optional - [Partners directory](https://lladvisorygroup.com/partners/): Index of all member firms. - [Privacy Policy](https://lladvisorygroup.com/privacy-policy/): Data and privacy practices. - [Sitemap index](https://lladvisorygroup.com/sitemap_index.xml): XML sitemap of all pages.
