LSS Strategic Partners Announces Launch of ECB STAR Group

In an exciting development in the realm of executive recruitment, LSS Strategic Partners, a subsidiary of A&M Inc., has officially unveiled ECB STAR Group. This newly formed firm specializes in providing premier retained executive search services focused on executive, board, and C-suite appointments. The inception of ECB STAR Group is a significant milestone in LSS’s strategic growth, enhancing its suite of leadership services alongside SHP Legal Services and NomosFIT.

Led by Tom Wilkinson, co-founder and CEO of ECB STAR Group, the new firm is set to revolutionize the executive placement process in publicly listed corporations, private entities, sponsor-backed firms, and top global law firms. Recognizing the high-stakes nature of leadership recruitment in contemporary business, Peter Sacripanti, CEO of LSS Strategic Partners, asserted, "ECB STAR Group is crafted to address the growing competitiveness in the talent market. With its data-focused approach and commitment to client outcomes, ECB is poised to set a new standard in the executive search sector."

Innovative Approach through STAR Capabilities

The firm's approach transcends traditional recruitment techniques by leveraging its proprietary Search, Talent Advisory, and Research (STAR) capabilities. ECB STAR Group utilizes a data-driven methodology enriched by access to an extensive network of executives. This combination ensures that they can create tailored leadership teams that not only drive value but also influence the future trajectory of their associated organizations. Their advanced technological platforms are designed to facilitate precise matching, significantly diminishing the time taken for placements while making sure all align with the strategic goals of the client’s business.

"Our clients operate in pivotal, fast-evolving industries where securing top-tier leadership is not just beneficial, it’s indispensable," emphasized Wilkinson. The mission of ECB STAR Group is to provide transformative talent solutions that not only keep their clients competitive but also make them ready for the future.

Global Reach and Sector Specialization

The ECB STAR Group is strategically positioned with a presence in both the United States and the United Kingdom, allowing it to operate seamlessly within global markets. The firm’s expertise extends across various industries characterized by intense competition for top talent, including:

• - Public and Private Companies: ECB focuses on Board, C-suite, and direct report placements to ensure companies have the leadership needed to inspire innovation and drive sustained growth.
• - Sponsor-Backed Companies: The firm collaborates closely with deal teams and management to guide businesses from pre-deal assessments to leadership construction, ultimately building executive units aimed at value creation and turnaround strategies.
• - Law Firms: ECB partners with leading law firms to uncover and place premier legal talent, thus enhancing client service delivery, navigating regulations, and ensuring overarching firm success.

"Agility is fundamental to our operation," noted Gabrielle Shakeshaft, COO of ECB STAR Group. With a focus on precision and impact, ECB combines in-depth industry knowledge with a highly customized, data-oriented approach to provide leadership solutions that align with their clients’ strategic objectives.

A New Era in Executive Search

In a rapidly shifting business environment, where leaders must tackle complex challenges, Darin DeWitt, a partner at ECB, stated, "Our objective is to connect exceptional talent with opportunities that not only suit their skills but also empower them to initiate significant transformations within their organizations."

Originally known as AM Search, the transformation into ECB STAR Group signifies a pivotal shift in its mission to redefine executive search. As an integral part of LSS Strategic Partners, ECB complements a trio of operational solutions, including NomosFIT, which offers a flexible interim talent platform, and SHP Legal Services that provide strategic guidance to optimize law firm operations. Together, these companies establish a comprehensive, technology-enhanced ecosystem that is reshaping the landscape of talent management and legal services.

Peter Sacripanti affirms that the establishment of ECB STAR Group is a landmark achievement for LSS Strategic Partners as they continue their journey to lead in the domain of talent management, stating, "The principles established by our founders guide our approach. Just like SHPLS and NomosFIT, ECB STAR Group infuses a more sophisticated, technology-led strategy into the industry, empowering our clients to achieve a competitive advantage in an ever-evolving business world."
