Executive Search Consulting - Executive Officer Search, Executive Search Finance VP

Home

Established in 1954, Canny, Bowen is widely known as the preeminent boutique executive and legal search firm in the United States. For over 50 years, we have specialized in one thing: recruiting senior level executives and lawyers with no ancillary services such as management audits or online hiring to distract us.

Canny, Bowen is committed to remaining privately-held and modest in size to avoid the restrictions found in large search firms which prevent a thorough search because of “off limits” problems and other conflicts of interest.

Canny, Bowen’s clients know that a seasoned Partner handles their assignment from start to finish. Each Partner is hands-on in every aspect from research to candidate assessment.

Over 80% of our searches come from repeat business from clients which include such well-respected companies as: Balfour Beatty, Cooper Industries, Danaher, Foster Wheeler, General Electric, The Hartford, IBM, International Paper, Lenovo, Pfizer, and Royal Dutch Shell.

Canny, Bowen also has an active practice recruiting for private equity firms as well as middle market and early stage privately held companies.

Each of our Partners has in excess of 20 years experience in executive and legal search. We have established extensive networks that enable us to identify, and gain access to, the most outstanding people, including the most sought after diversity candidates. For example, as the former President and Chief Executive Officer of Heidrick and Struggles, Canny, Bowen's David Peasback developed relationships which remain invaluable sources of information about the top executive and legal talent in the marketplace today.

For more information on any aspect of executive, legal, or Board of Directors' searches, please contact Canny, Bowen, Inc.
