We are proud to be a member of Penrhyn International, a consortium of the most highly regarded executive search firms worldwide. Membership in Penrhyn International allows Skott/Edwards global reach for our clients and has expanded our domestic activities in support of the needs of Penrhyn International partners.

Our domestic practice is geographically dispersed; approximately 35% of our business originates West of the Rockies and 20% is from the Midwest and the South. We enjoy a significant reputation for successfully completing executive search assignments with a sense of urgency and a concern for timeliness, cost effectiveness and quality.

Skott/Edwards Consultants was formed as a general management consulting firm, and the loyalty of our clients has insured that the firm continues to have a substantial client portfolio. A natural outgrowth of our general management practice has been an expertise in corporate governance. Additionally, we have become known particularly well within certain industry segments or specialty practice concentrations. These areas include: pharmaceuticals, biotechnology; medical device and health care services.
