Pact & Partners

Pact & Partners is a US executive search firm founded in 2012, with offices in Boston and Miami. We help international companies expanding into the United States hire the senior leaders who will build and run their US operations. Our clients come from 32 countries, and our work covers searches nationwide.

We recruit for leadership roles that shape a company's success in a new market. These include chief executive officers, country managers and general managers, chief financial officers, human resources leaders, sales and commercial leaders, and independent board members. Many of our clients are opening their first US entity, while others are scaling an existing American team and need experienced executives who understand both the US market and the culture of an international parent company.

Our founder and CEO, Olivier Safir, has 20 years of experience in executive search. Our team of 11 to 50 people works closely with each client from the first conversation to the final hire. We start by understanding the company, its goals in the United States and the profile of the leader it needs. We then identify, approach and assess candidates, share a clear shortlist, and support the client through interviews, offer and onboarding.

International companies choose us because entering the US market is a major step, and the first leadership hires often decide how fast a company grows. We focus on finding executives who can work across borders, report to headquarters abroad and still lead confidently in the American business environment.
