Chaberton Partners - Executive Search

Some challenges shape our culture and team spirit and stay in our hearts. Mount Chaberton is one of them. 🏔️   This mountain is more than a peak for us: it’s a symbol of who we are and where we were born as a firm. Every year, climbing it together reminds us of what being Human Explorers truly means: pushing limits, trusting each other, and celebrating every step together, with determination, pride, and smiles all along the way.   135 Human Explorers. One spirit. Here’s a glimpse of our ‘2025 ChabertonGoesToChaberton’ adventure.   #ChabertongoestoChaberton #HumanExplorers 

True inspiration begins with authentic conversations.   Let’s relive the atmosphere of our latest Inspiring Breakfast with Paolo Scaroni: a morning of meaningful connections, open dialogue, and shared inspiration. Moments like these remind us of the power of conversation and the value of bringing visionary leaders together to exchange ideas and perspectives.   A special thank you to all the participants who contributed to the unique spirit of this series.   #ChabertonPartners #InspiringBreakfast #Leadership 

What’s driving the unprecedented wave of CEO turnover in France?   In Le Figaro, our Managing Partner France Carl Azar shares his perspective: “In France, natural turnover is usually between 5% and 10% per year. By September, we had already seen four changes in CAC 40 companies and nine in the SBF 120. After October’s announcements, we’ll end the year well above 10%: a clear sign of shifting expectations and board dynamics.”   Carl emphasizes the rise of board professionalization, pressure to balance ESG and financial criteria, and the need for strategic alignment between CEOs and their boards.   An insightful angle for anyone navigating leadership in today’s complex environment.

Authenticity is not just a value. It’s a way of leading.   Our CEO, Christian Vasino, shared his personal and truly inspiring perspective on this topic in his recent interview with Roberto Righi, in the podcast #CappuccioEBrioche. A great conversation about values, leadership, and what truly drives Chaberton Partners - Executive Search forward every day.   #Leadership #Authenticity #ChabertonPartners

“The art of management is to make ordinary people do extraordinary things.”   Paolo Scaroni, Chairman of Enel, Giuliani and AC Milan, joined as keynote speaker this week Chaberton Partners - Executive Search’s Inspiring Breakfast at the Four Seasons in Milan, moderated by Davide Cefis. More than 50 CEOs, Chairmen and Board members contributed to the interactive and insightful session on the scenario of the energy geopolitics at global level and the state of the art of energy transition in Europe, the link between energy and political independency and the historical connection of climate and culture, highlighting how today’s change and challenges from corporate world are faster, sharper, and more global than ever before.   When addressing corporate governance, Scaroni emphasized that while Boards must be equipped to face the energy challenge, true progress relies on the talent and motivation of management teams. This remains one of the most enduring qualities in leadership. Many thanks to Christian Vasino for his welcome and introduction, to Paolo Scaroni and all the attendees for the authentic exchange and to Davide Cefis for his brilliant moderation. It was an inspiring morning that left all participants reflecting on the power of leadership and the importance of vision in driving meaningful change. #ChabertonPartners #InspiringBreakfast #EnergyTransition #Leadership

Last Saturday 135 Human Explorers coming from 5 different countries met at the base of the mount Chaberton with a unique mission: reach the peak of this magical mountain together.   This is where the Human Explorers belong. Every year, since our foundation in 2017, we climb together, pushing our limits further and cheering each other until we reach the summit, proud of the spirit and the culture that makes us unique.   At 3,131 meters, you breathe differently. You think differently. You understand that no summit is ever reached alone. We supported one another, waited for each other, celebrated every milestone, from the first step to the final peak.   This is not just a simple mountain walking: it’s a reminder of who we are - real Human Explorers. It reflects our culture, our purpose, and our commitment to each other, to our clients and candidates, and to the future we’re building.   The mountain was high. The climb was long. But the journey was truly unforgettable. This is Chaberton Partners - Executive Search!   #ChabertongoestoChaberton #HumanExplorers
