The way an organisation treats its leaders on the way out is as important as how they were treated on the way in. And in these times of economic and social disruption, senior leadership transitions are particularly important – and more visible than ever – posing significant risk to the business.
How are you managing this process?
ICEO is more than executive outplacement. We are the only global boutique that partners with senior leaders, companies and boards to navigate critical personal and organisational decisions and the complex challenges associated with leadership transitions and executive careers.
Global mobility & consistency
ICEO works with senior leaders in 16 global ICEO hubs, strategically located in New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich, Toronto, São Paulo, Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro and Milan. Our ICEO global centres are supplemented by on-demand access to LHH offices in 71 countries - providing maximum mobility for local, national and global career pursuits.
Guide to Best Practices in Leadership Transition
It is impossible to precisely anticipate every leadership transition scenario. The triggers for transition are varied and distinct. However, every organisation can build a comprehensive plan that can go into effect whenever a leadership transition is imminent.
The ICEO Guide – Best Practices in Leadership Transition – examines some of the triggers for leadership departures, the negative consequences of a poorly managed exit, and solutions that can help you and your organisation manage amicable and positive transitions.
“It's a business imperative.”

The superior experience for transitioning senior leaders
ICEO delivers an unequivocally superior leadership transition experience. First, we meet our clients wherever they are in the transition process. Then, we surround them with a dedicated, bespoke team of ICEO advisors, subject matter experts, mentors, alumni, industry specialists and friends of the firm.
At the centre of each personalised team is the ICEO Advisor, a trusted partner who brings extensive experience in partnering with senior leaders as they explore and pursue their career options. Like our clients, our ICEO Advisors are accomplished business leaders, board members, professional service firm partners and successful entrepreneurs. 80% come from C-Suite and senior business leadership roles.
Our ICEO Peer Advisors and executive mentors help senior leaders think in different ways, open doors to new possibilities and choose the best options. We provide comprehensive global support, resources and connections for all executive career options including corporate leadership positions, private equity and venture capital roles, advisory work, starting or purchasing a business, alternative careers, board service, portfolio careers and active retirement. Over 90% of those who choose a corporate career track land in an equal or higher role.
Each executive’s Peer advisor is complemented by a team of experts in communications and personal branding, employment law, retained executive search, board service, private equity and venture capital.
Our clients also receive in-depth assessments on skills, interests, passions, and motivators, resume and biography development by ICEO’s professional writers, and access to a specialised ICEO Research Team who deliver personalised analytics, market intelligence and insights.
