ISG, International Service Group — USA
Sector portfolio

Cross-sector by design.

No single sector dominates our book. That reflects the diversified economy we work in, the ISG global sector groups behind us, and where our network already runs deep. A diversified book is a defensible book.

Who we work for

Three buyers. One practice on the ground.

Inbound

Relocating or expanding into the United States, and rebuilding a leadership bench with no local network to do it from.

Relocating

Executives arriving from New York, California, Europe and Latin America who need someone on the ground who knows the market and the players.

Incumbent

Established businesses upgrading the bench, with access not only to local talent but to the reach of a 50-country platform behind the search.

Where we work

Eight sectors, plus AI leadership across all of them.

Each sector is served by the ISG global sector group behind it, and by a partner in the United States who answers the phone.

Core sector

Financial Services

The deepest, highest-paying search market in the United States — and the one where nobody is applying.
