Elling International Group

ELLING international consulting group, known as EICG, describes itself as a premier international executive search and leadership advisory firm that helps leaders and organisations achieve their full potential and create lasting success. It was founded by Michael Elling, a former Global CHRO and executive board member of global publicly listed companies, and it combines more than three decades of international executive leadership experience with expertise in executive search and leadership advisory. The firm delivers three services. Executive search identifies and appoints leaders who combine performance with what it calls Human Leadership, cultural fit and the ability to create sustainable success, covering boards, CEOs and executives as well as other critical leadership roles. Leadership and career development supports executives through critical career and leadership transitions. Leadership advisory counsels boards, CEOs, executives and leadership teams on the decisions that shape leadership, transformation and sustainable growth.

EICG partners with organisations of every size across borders, from founder led companies and family businesses through to global enterprises. It also collaborates with the FPI Fair Pay Innovation Lab around the world, supporting organisations in developing Fair Pay Leadership and meeting global standards of equity, transparency and accountability. That work runs through the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK, a certification trademark officially recognised by the European Union Intellectual Property Office, which provides a clear, structured and neutral verification process for identifying and closing pay gaps across all industries, company sizes and geographies.

The firm is based at Reinholdgasse 23 in Salzburg, Austria, and operates internationally under the banner Human Leadership for a Human World. Its argument to clients is that in a world of declining trust and profound transformation, and as technology becomes more powerful, Human Leadership matters more than ever, and that it brings clarity, strengthens leadership and helps organisations navigate complexity. EICG also dedicates one per cent of its revenue to initiatives contributing to a more human and sustainable future.
