Our Story
With decades of experience and a bold new approach, we are elevating the standard you should expect from an executive search and leadership advisory firm.
Our Partners come from top leadership firms and executive roles at world-class companies. We all hungered for a better, more human way to build relationships and business value.
We founded August Leadership to deliver an unparalleled experience for our clients and candidates. We built our firm to do our life’s work—and enable your people to do theirs.
Our Unique Approach
The Human Angle
The Human Angle
Our industry values transactions. We value meaningful client relationships. We invest the time to deeply understand our clients' needs and cultures, which is why we're able to deliver better results.
Partner-Led Engagements
Unlike the traditional model where Partners delegate to a junior team, our incentive model allows Partners to stay involved and visible at every step and to collaborate with each other, bringing deep industry knowledge and decades of experience.
Agile & Entrepreneurial Approach
Our model is free of any bureaucratic and administrative distractions, so our Partners can spend all of their time delivering superior results and an unparalleled experience to their clients.
Unparalleled Candidate Access
We see candidates as humans, not just a set of capabilities and career experiences. And because we aren’t constrained by off-limits, we have the widest access to candidates.
