Without a hint of irony, Austrade turned to Swiss headhunter Egon Zehnder as Australia’s dedicated export marketing agency searched for a new chief executive last year.
Executive search is a small pond – and dominated by foreign franchises.
Korn Ferry vice chair Alexandra Goodfellow has been providing services to JPMorgan and its predecessor firms “since the 1980s”.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has no “Australian-made” mandate, and the Commonwealth Treasury has American firm Korn Ferry managing its hunt for a new ASIC chairman to replace
James Shipton this year.
