BOSTON, MA – December 2025 – BSG | Talent Sequencing, a long-standing member of the Tinzon Group global alliance, is pleased to announce that the alliance has rebranded as the Alliance of Executive Search Advisors (AESA) and launched its new digital home at www.aesa.info. The new AESA identity reflects the alliance’s evolution into a global platform of trusted leadership advisors, bringing together independently owned retained executive search firms with deep local roots and sector-specific expertise across four continents.
As BSG continues to serve growth-focused companies and investors, the AESA rebrand reinforces the firm’s ability to deliver cross-border executive search and advisory support while maintaining the high-touch, boutique approach that has defined both BSG and the alliance since its founding in 2013.
From Tinzon Group to AESA
Founded in 2013, the former Tinzon Group has grown into a coordinated alliance of independently owned executive search firms serving clients across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Rebranding as AESA underscores the alliance’s shared commitment to acting not only as search partners, but as long-term advisors on leadership, succession and talent strategy for clients operating across borders.
Henrik Brabrand, Nordic CEO of Albright Partners and a founding member of the alliance, has emphasized that the AESA brand makes explicit the advisory mission that has long guided member firms’ work with boards, CEOs and investors around the world.
A Global Platform with Local Expertise
Under the AESA banner, member firms operate from key business hubs across four continents, including: the Nordics and Continental Europe (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany and Switzerland), India (Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore), the United States (with offices including Boston, New Jersey and the Detroit metropolitan area), and Australia (Perth, serving the broader Asia-Pacific region).
A recent AESA Annual General Meeting in Copenhagen, hosted by Albright Partners, convened member firms from across these markets to align on evolving leadership trends, client needs and cross-border collaboration, reinforcing the alliance’s reach and cohesion.
New Member Firms Strengthening AESA
As part of the rebrand, AESA has welcomed two new member firms that deepen the alliance’s sector coverage and geographic reach:
-
W&W Global Partners (Germany) – Based in Frankfurt and led by founding partner Carsten Wortmann, W&W brings strong capabilities in medical devices, contract development and manufacturing (CDMO/CMO), and renewable energy, serving clients across Europe, Asia and the United States.
-
CxSearch Global Partners (India & USA) – With teams in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore, and an additional presence in New Jersey, CxSearch enhances AESA’s coverage in AI, data & analytics, industrial and engineering sectors, and consumer-facing industries across South Asia and North America.
These additions exemplify AESA’s focus on founder-led, highly specialized firms with strong client relationships and a global mindset.
BSG | Talent Sequencing’s Role within AESA
BSG | Talent Sequencing serves the AESA network as a U.S.-based specialist in “builder-leader” executive talent for growth companies, with particular strength in private equity–backed and innovation-led businesses. Operating at the intersection of rigorous retained search methodology and deep sector fluency, BSG and its companion brand Talent Sequencing support clients across software and technology, cleantech, life sciences, medical devices, education, non-profit, and other growth sectors.
Through the AESA network, BSG can more seamlessly connect clients to trusted executive search and advisory partners in Europe, India and Australia, while offering international candidates and leadership talent a coordinated global platform. This alignment complements BSG’s proprietary assessment and culture-fit tools, delivered via the Talent Sequencing platform, and its “Find–FIT–Fetch” approach to executive search.
What the AESA Rebrand Means for BSG Clients
For BSG | Talent Sequencing clients and partners, the AESA rebrand delivers several tangible benefits:
-
Expanded global reach – Coordinated access to board, C-suite and senior leadership talent across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
-
Deeper sector specialization – Ability to draw on AESA colleagues with targeted expertise in life sciences, healthcare, industrials, AI and data, renewable energy, consumer, and mid-market leadership.
-
Advisory-led collaboration – A shared commitment among member firms to act as long-term advisors on leadership, talent strategy and succession, rather than as transactional recruiters.
For organizations scaling across borders, this combination of global reach, local insight and sector depth positions AESA – and BSG within it – as a strategic partner in designing, recruiting and coaching high-performing leadership teams.
