Expect more from us.
CORNFELD was founded by Harry Houthuijse in 1996 in Zurich, Switzerland. At that time, Harry was the Managing Director of Peat Marwick Executive Search in Zurich, a renowned spin-off of the KPMG Group, which he led for 12 years. For the Schindler Group, he later took over responsibility for Corporate Human Resources Europe and built up global talent management.
In almost 30 years, CORNFELD has developed from an owner-managed executive search boutique into an internationally successful management consultancy firm. We support leading companies in executive search and succession management and board director searches and we advise individual leaders with our services in executive career coachings.
Today, CORNFELD is characterised by independence, passion and many years of expertise. We know the market and have a sure instinct for talent and the ‘perfect match’.
We cultivate collaborative connections, consistently championing the success of our clients.
In a quarter of a century, CORNFELD has supported many listed and multinational corporations, family offices, private equity firms and leading SMEs in countless searches and delicate succession issues, both nationally and internationally. Georgraphically we cover a large consulting radius with experienced executive search partners and research teams in Switzerland and Asia.
