Pierce Group – Board member
Pierce Group is a publicly listed, leading European e-commerce company that specializes in selling motorcycle and snowmobile gear, parts, accessories, and streetwear through best-in-class online store experiences. Pierce Group found itself in need of a turnaround, while simultaneously requiring the appointment of a senior Chairman for the Audit Committee. Such demand was particularly challenging due to the complex requirements and time constraints involved.
“After a surprisingly short period, we received a list of highly relevant female candidates to present to the nomination committee, and shortly thereafter, the nominee was appointed at the Annual General Meeting. EQ Executive Search left a strong impression by their effective management, wide network, transparency, and excellent communication throughout the process. We look forward to collaborating again with EQ Executive Search in the future!”
Henrik Theilbjørn, Chair of the Board at Pierce Group
