Rob Andrews says his global firm is in the
business of helping clients build enterprise
value. That’s far easier to do when software
intuitively supports the search and consulting
process and the team leading it.
When you’ve spent nearly three full decades in the business of retained
executive search, says Rob Andrews, Chairman & CEO of Allen Austin
– with retained executive search consultants working from offices in
the United States, Europe and Asia – you naturally form opinions
based on the experiences of your clients.
And if clients’ best interests aren’t being well served, Andrews isn’t the
type to stand around and let that happen.
It’s that commitment, and a belief that the interests of clients of older,
larger and better-known executive search firms weren’t consistently
being served that led Andrews to leave one search firm and create
his own unique brand of retained executive search and leadership
consulting.
Andrews’ guiding lights were his beliefs that clients could be served
best with a more deliberate search process focused on finding the kind
of executive fit that would increase tenure and fast-track exceptional
performance in any leadership role.
Today, Allen Austin believes it has created one of the most disciplined
and most comprehensive search methodologies in the business. This,
Andrews says, offers the focus as well as the flexibility to meet clients’
needs and expectations.

The results, says this man focused on statistics and performance,
can be summed up in just one measure of his firm’s commitment:
since the founding of the firm, Andrews says, the firm has never once
abandoned an unfinished search assignment.
The firm is obsessed with performance metrics. Andrews is his firm’s
own toughest critic, pushing it to connect exceptional leaders with
the right roles and into cultures they can excel in over the long-term.

It’s a track record, he adds, that has enabled the firm’s growth
internationally and also into other executive advisory services,
including board services, leadership advisory, and related human
capital disciplines.
