About

About Ross & Co Executive Search

We are a boutique executive search firm built on a simple belief: the right leader can transform an organization, and finding that leader deserves senior, focused attention.

Global experience. Boutique by design.

Mark Ross established Ross & Co following two decades as a senior financial services partner with some of the world's largest executive search practices, including Heidrick & Struggles and Ferguson Partners, where he established and built the Canadian operation.

Today we partner with some of the most respected asset managers, wealth advisory platforms, pension plans, banks and insurers. We have a demonstrated record of recruiting exceptional talent for these clients, built on a consultative search process and a real understanding of their businesses.

A trusted partner, not a vendor

We treat every client as a long-term business partner. That means informed, honest advice, even when it is not what you expected to hear, and exceptional service on every search. We see each mandate as a chance to help your business reach its next level.
