Whitehead Mann Bought by US Rival
Thursday, June 25, 2009 5:19
One of the UK’s best known headhunters has been bought by a much larger American rival. Less than two years after it was taken private by Och-Ziff, the hedge fund group, the City headhunter has been bought by Korn/Ferry International in a move which creates the leading executive search firm in Britain and France. Whitehead Mann’s client roster includes 90 of Europe’s top 200 companies.
Famously discreet by nature and necessity, headhunters make sure that they themselves never become the story. Anna Mann, co-founder of the leading executive search company–Whitehead Mann, is no exception. It was not only embarrassment and the episode promoted suggestions that the headhunters and corporate leaders can sometimes be a bit too cosy.
