New Global Search Alliance Launched

European executive search firm Gillamor Stephens, US firm Mainstay Partners and Asia Pacific firm Braithwaite Steiner Pretty, announce their formal alliance in establishing a new global brand focused exclusively on the technology sector. The new firm is called Mosaic Global Executive Search.

The renewed thirst for investment in the tech sector is driving the global expansion of localized companies. ìNot since before the 2000 market crash have we seen such activityî said Steve Lavelle, CEO Mosaic Europe. ìConfident investment in their global expansion has become a daily discussion with our clientsî.

Many global technology companies have locked themselves into relationships with the big 5 search firms to help them with their growth plans. ìThis trend has proved challenging for the boutiquesî. John Hoagland, Mosaicís North America CEO commented, ìToday, our clients want a global relationship. They also donít want to compromise on quality. This trend hatched the plan to launch Mosaicî.

This sentiment was echoed by Steve Leahy, VP Worldwide Sales of Empirix, one of the firmís recent clients. ìWorking with the Mosaic partner firms was an experience unlike any I have had with search firms in the past. Their ability to canvass the market and to fully understand our needs and issues was second to none.î

According to Mark Pretty, Mosaicís Asia Pacific CEO, ìeach of our firms have well established brand and credibility in our respective regions. Bringing the quality, accountability and commitment we are known for, to the global stage, is a powerful offeringî.

Each firm has a 10 year track record and now, combined, they go to market as a single team of more than 50 professionals. Clients include Dell, EMC, Oracle, HP, CA and Business Objects as larger companies and over 100 smaller companies.

ìOur businesses are successful in their own right. The purpose of this alliance is to work with companies in their global expansion phase. We are determined to bring a no-compromise, high value service as a better alternative to working with the big 5î said Steve Lavelle.
