About Peter Meder, President
In founding and leading his firm, Meder created a client-service model different from those of other executive search consultants, in which the needs of the client define the relationship:

“What’s good for the client is what drives our behavior. This means that we do what’s right for the client’s business. Clients trust us to find the right answer.”

Experience gained early in his career convinced Meder that an executive search consulting practice must be built around the client’s business objectives. This guiding principle has driven the firm’s practices and behavior, including Meder’s insistence that the firm’s consultants come from senior-level client service backgrounds, and that the firm avoid conflicts of interest by not serving competitive clients.

Among Meder’s specific areas of expertise are his abilities in guiding clients through difficult issues involving professional services governance and organizational alignment. In addition to consulting directly with clients, he has served as an expert witness in a variety of high-profile legal cases involving governance issues.

Prior to founding and managing his own firm over the past 17 years, Meder served as a principal and consultant for the executive search firm Egon Zehnder International. Earlier he was a vice president in corporate banking with Continental Illinois Bank. He holds an M.M. degree from Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University; and a B.A. degree, also from Northwestern.
