With backgrounds as leaders in global services firms, the founders of Oppeus International saw that globalisation had changed the world forever and that exec search was indeed not exempted.
There are fewer key clients playing in the global market in most key sectors and this has caused massive off limit problems for global search firm. Off limits compromise the search effort as does multiple profit centres focussed on top line growth. These core elements are forcing global search firms further into conflicted search compromise.
OPPEUS International saw the phenomenon as an irreversible process and looked at delivering a bespoke relationship based model with integrated and aligned services as the key to the future.
Utilising a totally difference approach to the way that Search is undertaken OPPEUS International is delivering great work for global clients as well as local and international businesses.
We focus on working for selected clients in selected sectors and providing them with an integrated suite of services which is lead by our Executive Search practice and supported by Governance, Remuneration and Organisation advice through our bespoke but aligned practice areas.
We deliver seamlessly for global and major international and local corporations and services firms across borders and have an outstanding track record in brining talent to clients from and to all parts of the world. Through “Finding and Supporting Great Leaders”, we assist our clients to “know you way”.
A significant resonance exists between our goal to build a meaningful firm in the reality of the modern world and the mythology of the ancient Greeks, heroes and epic journeys.
The beauty of looking back into history is that it can provide us with insights, lessons and guidance for the future.
Never is that truer than within the mythology of ancient Greece, from the powers of Gods like Zeus and Athena to the dangers in the journey of Odysseus, described in Homer’s epic, The Odyssey.
And as we looked back, we particularly perceived a creation, OPPEUS, our mythical God of Human Endeavour.
OPPEUS resonated with our endeavours in the field of Finding Great Leaders.
Moreover, we perceived a meaningful derivation from the Latin noun “opus” or work, and a fusion with the name Odysseus, in recognition of Homer who the King of Ithaca, conqueror of Troy and who also proved that it is the journey in life not the destination that matters.
The symbolism and connection to our work at OPPEUS International in helping organisations and people undertake their particular journeys or works in life was too significant to overlook.
The opportunity to find and support great leaders is our particular journey, our guiding star.
Accordingly, we have named our firm OPPEUS International and commit ourselves to our unique journey.
