In technology, with apparently boundless application and insatiable markets, it is most often the human factor - leadership - that differentiates the successes from the “also-rans”.

Odgers Berndtson's global technology professionals consistently identify the rare individuals who thrive at the top of technology corporations. We find exceptional people who can direct senior management and the board to create, communicate and implement strategy and tactics that deliver profitable business out of the constantly flowing stream of possibilities.

The defining success factors are often associated with fine commercial instinct; the ability to keep difficult developments moving forward (program & project management skills); and raw people leadership. Successful management and capitalisation of innovation is a path strewn with casualties.  Our hugely experienced, multi-disciplinary teams are adept at establishing the real need of an enterprise and in matching the appropriate talent.

From pre-IPO to established players, we forge meaningful relationships with our technology clients, ensuring that we know where they are going, and therefore understand more clearly the talent they will need to get there.

Our global Technology Practice operates across 35 countries and is also supported by our function experts, delivering successful candidates in the following areas:

  • Biotechnology
  • Computer devices and manufacturing
  • e-commerce
  • Internet services
  • Convergent media, entertainment & broadcast
  • Semiconductors and development
  • Software
  • Telecommunications
