Leadership and strong middle management are the backbone of successful growth, transformation, and international expansion. While executives set the direction, it is often middle managers who execute, stabilize operations, and drive performance on the ground.
Penon Partners supports companies with targeted executive and middle management search across the United States, France, and Italy, with a strong focus on European groups building, scaling, or professionalizing their U.S. subsidiaries.
We combine deep operational expertise with a hands-on understanding of cross-border US–Europe business environments to help you hire leaders and managers who deliver results — not just fill roles.
