Kilpatrick Executive

NEXT Club made its New York debut. 🇺🇸✨

More than 100 executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders joined us at Eataly Downtown for an evening of art, leadership and meaningful connections.

🎨 Our featured guest, David Nahmad, shared extraordinary stories from a lifetime devoted to art, leaving us with one powerful message: “Always defend your client.”

A principle that goes far beyond the art world and deeply resonates with us at Kilpatrick Executive: lasting relationships are built on trust, commitment and people.

A special thank you to David Nahmad, Francesca Chialà, Cristina Spagna, Claudio Pagliara and Roberto Dutesco, and to Eataly Downtown for welcoming us in the beautiful Sala Firenze. 🇮🇹

And, above all, thank you to everyone who joined us and made this first New York gathering so special. 💫

See you at the next NEXT Club.

A critical leadership hire is more than an open position. It is a decision that can influence your strategy, your people and the future direction of your business.

At Kilpatrick Executive, we help companies identify the leaders they need to move forward, combining executive search expertise, local market knowledge and access to a global talent network.

Our One Team, One Company approach allows us to look beyond borders, industries and the active candidate market to find the right leadership fit for each business challenge.

If you have a senior or executive position to fill, start with a conversation.

Everyone is talking about Gen Z. But who is actually taking over leadership today?

Millennials are no longer the “next generation” of the workforce.

They are stepping into senior positions, managing teams, influencing business decisions and increasingly taking on the leadership responsibilities of the generations before them.

Yet, somewhere between conversations about Gen Z and the legacy of Gen X and Baby Boomers, the Millennial perspective risks being overlooked.

We wanted to put it back at the center of the conversation.

So we asked nearly 1,000 professionals to share their perspectives on leadership, work and the future of organizations.

What do Millennials expect from leaders today? How do they approach responsibility? What kind of organizations do they want to build? And how might their perspective reshape the way we lead in the years ahead?

The Kilpatrick Executive Millennials & Leadership Report explores these questions through the voices of the professionals experiencing this transition firsthand.

The results might challenge some of the assumptions we have about this generation.

Curious to see what they told us?

One Team, One Company is more than something we say. It’s something we live. 🌎✨

Last week, our Global CEOs Jaap Hoekstra and Cristina Spagna, spent time with our Americas team in Mexico. 🇲🇽

A valuable opportunity to connect in person, exchange ideas, discuss strategies and strengthen the relationships that keep our global organization moving forward. 💡🤝

Because being a global company is not just about having teams around the world. It is about bringing those teams together, sharing perspectives and moving in the same direction.

Different countries. Different perspectives. Shared ambitions. 🌍

EXT Club lands in New York. 🇺🇸🗽

After bringing together CEOs, entrepreneurs and senior professionals with international experience, NEXT Club is taking its next step across the Atlantic.

On September 29, Kilpatrick Executive will officially bring the NEXT Club community to New York, together with Eataly, creating a new space for Italian leaders abroad to connect, exchange perspectives and build meaningful relationships. 🌎🤝

For this first New York gathering, we wanted to start with a conversation that goes beyond business.

🎨 Evening theme: “Art Is an Exact Science. Buy History and Keep!”

Our featured guest will be David Nahmad, one of the world’s most influential art collectors, whose extraordinary collection includes works by some of the most important artists in modern and contemporary art.

🎙️ He will be interviewed by Francesca Chialà, artist, sociologist, TED speaker, executive and business coach, bringing her perspective as an artist into a conversation about art, intuition, value and the ability to recognize potential.

The evening will open with Cristina Spagna, President and Global CEO of Kilpatrick Executive, introducing the vision behind NEXT Club and this new international chapter, alongside Claudio Pagliara, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute New York, who will offer his welcome remarks.

NEXT Club is an invitation only international club where Italian executives, entrepreneurs and senior professionals with international experience can turn conversations into meaningful connections.

From Italy to New York, the community keeps growing. 🇮🇹✨

A special thanks to Eataly for welcoming NEXT Club to New York and for supporting us in bringing this new chapter of the community to life. 🤝

🌍 Great executive search doesn’t stop at borders.

International searches are most effective when different markets are connected from the very beginning. That means combining local knowledge, understanding different leadership cultures, and working toward one shared goal.

As Monica Ferrario, Client Director & Executive Leadership Coach at Kilpatrick highlights in her Headhunter Tip, a truly cross border approach allows us to bring together local insight and a broader understanding of the business and its challenges.

🤝 This is what One Team, One Company means at Kilpatrick Executive. Different markets, different perspectives, one shared search strategy.

💡 Because finding the right leader internationally is not just about expanding the search geographically. It’s about connecting expertise across borders to make better decisions for our clients.

Mexican Independence Day is a moment to celebrate the country’s history, identity and the people who continue to shape its future every day.

For Kilpatrick Executive, Mexico is much more than a market. It is home to part of our team, our clients, candidates, partners and friends, and a country whose talent, ambition and entrepreneurial spirit continue to create new opportunities and drive businesses forward.

We celebrate all those who contribute to building what comes next.

To our colleagues, clients, candidates, partners and friends across Mexico, ¡Feliz Día de la Independencia! 🇲🇽

“El retail en México sigue evolucionando, y entender su futuro requiere sumar diferentes perspectivas.

Ayer, Kilpatrick Executive y CBRE México celebramos una nueva edición del Retail Real Estate Executive Briefing, reuniendo a líderes y profesionales del sector para compartir insights, analizar las tendencias que están transformando el mercado y generar conversaciones de valor.

Esta colaboración parte de una visión compartida: crear comunidad alrededor de uno de los sectores más dinámicos de México, combinando dos perspectivas complementarias.

Por un lado, la experiencia de CBRE México en real estate y en la evolución de los espacios de retail. Por otro, desde Kilpatrick Executive, nuestra visión sobre talento, liderazgo y los perfiles que las organizaciones necesitan para acompañar el crecimiento y la transformación del sector.

Porque el futuro del retail no depende únicamente de cómo evoluciona el mercado, sino también de las personas que toman las decisiones y lideran ese cambio.

Gracias a CBRE México por recibirnos nuevamente, por compartir perspectivas tan interesantes y por seguir construyendo juntos espacios que conectan conocimiento, empresas y líderes.

Seguimos sumando fuerzas para fortalecer la comunidad de retail en México. 🤝”

The best candidate for your next leadership role may never apply.

That is one of the biggest differences between traditional recruitment and executive search.

At senior level, finding the right person means looking beyond the visible market. It requires understanding the business challenge, mapping the right talent landscape, approaching professionals directly and evaluating much more than experience alone.

At Kilpatrick Executive, every search combines local market knowledge, global reach, direct search expertise and a tailored approach built around the organization behind the role.

Because executive search is not simply about who is available.

It is about finding the person who can create the greatest impact.
