Practices · By industry

Retained executive search organized by sector — because who leads well in aerospace is not who leads well in chemicals or in a technology scale-up.

These are the true sectors the practice serves — the industries where the reality of the work reshapes what leadership has to be. A plant director in a medical device operation lives inside ISO 13485 and FDA validation discipline; a plant director in chemicals lives inside process safety and EHS accountability. The sector is not a label on the search; it is the environment the leader has to actually run. Search is delivered through [Alder Koten](https://www.alderkoten.com) and coordinated globally through [IMD International Search Group](https://www.imdsearch.com).
