Relentless demand by consumers and business customers for inexpensive, advanced wireless and broadband communication services has accelerated an unprecedented global consolidation of the services sector.
This is rapidly transforming the industry into one dominated by mega-carriers offering an array of services largely controlled by wireless and Internet-based services. And it is creating new M&A opportunities as tangential assets are spun off by the big carriers and gobbled up by eager investors looking to turn these assets into efficient new specialist service providers.
Consolidation, streamlining and technological improvements promise to lift the global communications sector out of its deepest recession ever but not before the industry has to deal with more pain. Over the next few years, service providers and their suppliers will continue to adjust their businesses and assets to contend with stiff competition, technology changes and price erosion.
Innovative senior leaders are needed who possess the necessary experience and competencies to manage for extraordinary success through unprecedented industry changes. The most successful of these leaders will have been tested in competitive battle, taken businesses through huge turnarounds or transformational technology and marketing changes and made these businesses thrive amid growing, profitability concerns.
Since 2000, we have conducted more than 800 senior-level executive search and board director assignments. We also advise companies on key leadership issues, such as succession planning, and provide executive assessment services and intelligence on senior executives targeted during pre- and post-investment M&A activities.
As the preferred adviser on leadership issues for companies rebuilding their boards and executive teams in times of transition, our consultants have extensive experience in the communication services sector.
