Ottawa

The National Capital Region is one of Canada's most unique economies. It is the hub for sectors such as government, non-profit and high technology - and it boasts a diverse array of organizations in other sectors. Ray & Berndtson Ottawa addresses these local market needs with two fundamental strengths: A deep understanding of the local senior executive community, and an unparalleled ability to attract Canadian and international leaders to Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Working in French and English, Ray & Berndtson Ottawa is the only international firm located in the National Capital Region. With a team of 25, we are largest retained search office East of Toronto. While we have the resources and reach of a large global firm, our partners maintain boutique-style practices in dedicated industry verticals including academia, energy, government, high technology, life sciences and non-profit. In addition to CEO and Board recruitment, our partners also specialize in a variety of specific functions such as Communications, Engineering, Finance, Human Resources, IT, Operations, Marketing and Sales.  

Demographics, globalization and increased competition have made the shortage of leadership the most significant constraint on the growth and success of many organizations in our region. We believe our reputation has been earned by closely partnering with our clients to develop timely, realistic solutions to these challenges.
