Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion
Attracting, developing and sustaining diverse leadership is a proven phenomenon in advancing smarter decision making that leads to better outcomes for your business.
The notion of diversity embraces differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, geography and age, but more importantly it encourages differences in perception and thought. Wurster Partners realizes the definition of diversity can differ by geography, culture, industry and company. When working with our firm, clients gain unmatched access to a highly diverse candidate pool. We work diligently to follow the career progression, interests and expertise of highly sought-after prospects, drawing on thorough research into leading companies and targeted professional associations.
Our approach to diversity and inclusion is to explore the issues through an ongoing global dialogue with clients and prestigious academic, philanthropic, community and professional organizations who are committed to advancing access to those that are underrepresented. We are equally committed to upholding and fulfilling this guiding principle ourselves.
Corporate Governance Advisory
Wurster Partners has a dedicated practice to corporate governance and board consulting. We provide board counsel and recruitment, partnering with a specified group of clients, from large and multi-faceted corporations to entrepreneurial, venture-backed organizations, helping them strengthen their board structure and improve overall performance.

We have unmatched access to potential directors with detailed information on their careers, availability, interests and conflicts. Our personal relationships with directors are complemented by a powerful database containing information on prospective candidates.
