Equiida, a fast expanding and leading boutique leadership advisory and search firm, operating with global C-Level clients and communities, is proud to appoint Christianne Garofalo as our new CEO – Americas, effective immediately.
“After more than a decade in traditional executive search firms, I am thrilled to join a more progressive and agile firm willing to disrupt conventional wisdom with innovative solutions and a clear purpose beyond pure financial gain. Equiida, and its people, embody a bold spirit that threads through everything they do. The firm has delivered evidence-based executive search and tailored leadership effectiveness for a number of years, driving deep insights and proven impact. I'm honored to lead Equiida's continued expansion into the Americas, leveraging my experience in growing new markets, mobilizing diverse teams, and building innovative offerings. While many search firms are regressing, Equiida, is doubling down on shaping a modern future for leadership. One that actively contributes to a better, more inclusive world”.
Christianne is an award-winning leader in her field of leadership consulting and advisory services, having spent previous years in senior roles at Korn Ferry and most recently Heidrick & Struggles. As one of their most valued and successful contributors, she has leveraged her senior network to create market beating performance and drive tangible leadership change. Over the years she has developed an impressive reputation for coaching, decision effectiveness, succession and culture evolution, particularly on celebrating difference and inclusion.
