Home Spirit

Trust as a foundation, ambition as the driving force

Founded in 2013, Vauban Executive Search supports executives and investors in the recruitment of senior and experienced managers. For each assignment, we intervene where human decisions are most impactful, with unwavering standards and a resolutely collaborative approach.

We have chosen a clear positioning: to be the family doctors for executives and investors in all aspects of recruiting their key leaders. Trusted partners, committed for the long term, capable of understanding both strategic challenges and human dynamics, and of supporting every decision with discernment, high standards, courage, and discretion.

A diversification built over time, serving our clients

Our growth has been organic and targeted, guided by attentive listening to our clients and the evolution of their needs.
Historically rooted in real estate, Vauban Executive Search has progressively broadened its expertise to become a recognized multi-specialist, now operating in the following segments:

– Real Estate & Construction
– Investment, Finance & Corporate
– Infrastructure & Energy
– Life Sciences & Healthcare
– Industry & B2B Services
– Luxury, Retail & Hospitality

The merger with Arthur Finley in 2024, a firm recognized for its expertise with players in Industry, Distribution and Services, was a structuring step, strengthening the firm's sectoral depth and its ability to support complex and changing economic environments.

An independent boutique, committed to the long term

"Large among the small and small among the large," Vauban Executive Search champions an ambitious and independent boutique model. We prioritize authentic relationships, precise recruitment, and sustainable career paths, both for our clients and the executives we support.

Our consultants embody a rare balance: the artisanal heritage of headhunting, mastery of the best digital tools, and the rigorous application of industry best practices. This balance, underpinned by our values ​​of transparency, commitment, and perseverance, constitutes our company spirit: that of artisans of connection and builders of trust, dedicated to creating decisive encounters and lasting success stories.

An international support capacity

As a certified member of the international Lense & Lumen Advisory Group network, Vauban Executive Search supports its clients in nearly 20 countries, in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, with the same level of requirements, proximity and trust.
