Egon Zehnder was founded in 1964 with a distinctive vision and structure aimed at achieving two basic goals – to place our clients’ interests first and to lead our profession in creating value for our clients through the assessment and recruitment of top-level management resources. The most fundamental expression of our client-first vision resides in our structure, which is unique to our profession. Our 390 consultants, operating from 63 wholly owned offices in 37 countries, are organized around a single-profit center partnership. This is designed to eliminate competitive barriers between our offices. It allows us to operate seamlessly when engagements call for us to mobilize across many offices in a country or a region. Large or small, local or global, our clients benefit from our structure by having access to our most relevant resources and relationships wherever they may reside. Underpinning this unique structure is our private ownership. We have chosen to operate our firm independent of any outside interests and are motivated solely by a desire to exceed our clients’ expectations.

We have spent years building industry leading companies. We bring this trove of experience and relationships to every venture we invest in. Cyberstarts was the brainchild of many deep conversations with our most successful cyber peers to distill the holy grail that enabled us to build important companies. It soon became clear that the trajectory to success is determined at a venture’s earliest start. That our deep inside perspective and highly engaged network during this critical earliest stage were unique ingredients in our successes. By aggregating these close relationships for entrepreneurs who we believe in, we knew that we can create incredible value for our tight network of CISOs who enjoy the earliest access to solutions that they help to define. These peers became investors and Cyberstarts became the only VC primarily funded by the industry’s most successful cybersecurity founders.

SIM San Antonio provides a unique opportunity to interact with thought leaders and join peers in giving back to the industry and community.
SIM SAN ANTONIO – A platform where IT Business Leaders can openly collaborate on thought leadership, operational best practices, and execution which will contribute to our local IT community, and the overall success of technology in San Antonio. In addition, we enable our members to build trusted business relationships with their peers and soon to be peers that did not exist before. Together this will help our members achieve their business goals and personal growth.
A small, but dedicated group of local San Antonio IT leaders joined forces to identify a national organization that could provide the IT leaders in our community with a place where they can openly share information and network with their peers. The SIM organization was identified as the right platform to achieve these goals for technology leaders in our city. Therefore, recently the San Antonio chapter has been launched to provide the same value as has been achieved in the other SIM Texas Metro Chapters. We are excited to bring this chapter of SIM to the San Antonio marketplace, and confident that our IT leadership will enjoy and value this organization.
