Kestria Executive Board meets in Lisbon
Kestria Executive Board and Global Office held their biannual meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 2025. The discussions centered on defining Kestria’s long-term strategy, emphasizing innovation and continued leadership in the global executive search industry.

The Board prepared the Kestria Strategy 2030, which will set the alliance’s direction for the next five years. The strategy focuses on maintaining future readiness, continuously monitoring emerging business and talent trends and strengthening Kestria’s position as a trusted global executive search and leadership advisory partner for the clients.

In parallel, Kestria continues to expand its international presence, soon announcing new member firms from selected, strategically significant European markets, while also advancing its growth strategy to further consolidate its position as the world’s largest alliance in executive recruitment and leadership advisory.

The alliance is also developing a diverse program of online and in-person events for its members, focusing on upskilling, professional development, digital transformation and best-practice sharing to drive excellence across its worldwide network.

'Kestria’s Strategy 2030 is about staying ahead of change, not reacting to it. As business and leadership models evolve globally, our alliance continues to expand its reach and capability to help organizations anticipate what’s next and find the leaders who can take them there. We have a very committed, bright and driven group across the world and we have the ability to make a real impact on what business and leadership looks like in five years, and that’s really exciting.'
