As an executive search firm in higher education, WittKieffer is exclusively dedicated to serving mission-driven institutions that improve the quality of life. Our Education Practice has a singular focus: identifying leadership in education. We serve our client institutions with integrity, professionalism, responsiveness and a commitment to excellence.

At WittKieffer, we believe that all organizations, including ours, are strengthened by a diversity of thought, experience and perspective. Our values drive results — in the last three years, more than half of our Education Practice placements have been women and/or people of color.

Our education search consultants conduct more leadership-level searches in education each year than any other firm. Our network, reach and credibility across the education landscape afford our clients superior access to exceptional candidates. With the majority of our consultants having served as education leaders themselves, our knowledge is our greatest strength.

Partnership is paramount in every search we do. We thrive on collaboration, tailoring our approach to each client’s needs. We provide thoughtful counsel and decision support throughout the process, and our deep due diligence mitigates risk in decision-making. As your partner in education executive search and interim leadership placement, our success depends on yours.
