Although based in Fishers, IN, a suburb of Indianapolis, we provide search services for clients with needs all over the United States, with the bulk of searches being in the East Coast, Gulf Coast and West Coast regions. We also work with domestic and international companies that need industry experts in Europe and Central and South America, or overseas companies that may simply want to grow or start a presence in the U.S.
