Executive Talent Report 2022

---

ON Partners releases its 2022 Executive Search Talent Report, highlighting executive search work across the ON community. With record growth over the past year, ON Partners highlights & celebrates a sample of the organizations and individual executives we collaborated with this year.

“The year 2022 represented a major period of expansion and growth for ON Partners, with demand for C-level and board executives across several sectors including health & wellness, consumer, sustainability and clean tech, and private equity,” noted Matt Mooney, co-president of ON Partners. “The executive shifts we’re making illustrate our commitment to building the most innovative and disruptive pure-play retained executive search firm in the industry.”

This year alone, ON placed 400+ executives in leadership roles, 97% of our placements stayed in their roles for more than two years, 80% of our clients have worked with us on multiple searches and 41% of our closed searches were diverse executive appointments.

As non-conformists focused on taking an untraditional approach to executive search, ON consultants continue to place C-level, board, and senior executives across multiple industries and functions. Recent placements include C-level appointments for companies including O-I, onsemi, Honeywell, Aramark, Niche, Adobe, Columbia, Baker Hughes, Carlyle, Thermo Fisher, and more.

ON researched the various consulting assignments we’ve taken on these past few years to summarize the evolution of specific executive roles and the attributes and experience required to take on a leadership position in this ever-changing business environment.

Another popular insight this year was our sponsored live interactive webinar, in collaboration with Hunt Scanlon Media, discussing the rise of the operating partner in private equity with Anna Tye from Carlyle, Ed Richards from Marlin Equity Partners, Steven Berman from Accel-KKR, and Ryan Greene from Francisco Partners. The session was moderated by Tindall Hein and Jeff Hocking from ON Partners.
