HISTORY

Our solid reputation is firmly based in tradition. More than 50 years ago, founder Henry Wardwell Howell formed one of the first management-consulting firms focused solely on senior level executive search. That firm, which bore his name until 1998 - Ward Howell International - is now Signium International, and proudly boasts that history, retaining its reputation as a leader in the global executive search market.

Our firm was one of the founders of the AESC (the Association of Executive Search Consultants) and helped develop the original Professional and Ethical standards of our profession. We zealously maintain the essence and spirit of those standards today.

Tradition combined with the best practices of a new corporate world, allow Signium's clients to stay ahead of their competition.
