These new appointments come as the company continues to evolve alongside a rapidly changing landscape in talent strategy for fashion, retail and lifestyle brands and businesses.

“Since founding KHC, my goal has been to build an international group of highly dedicated and talented leaders who are more inspired working together than separately, and who appreciate the unique way that we work on an international basis. Our culture, coupled with our narrow and deep approach, has been the cornerstone of our success, and I have been very fortunate to work with these women over the past several years to build our presence across Europe. Their commitment to working across all key markets I believe provides a truly international perspective for our clients, which is invaluable in a world where global experience is fundamental to success. These promotions signal the next stage of growth for our company, and I’m so pleased to announce the promotions of Anais, Kate, and Charlotte. Anais’ unique and multi-national background has been a powerful foundation for her coming into this firm, and her wonderful manner, combined with her exceptional skills across the creative and executive search side of the firm, have been critical to our growth in Europe. Kate's incredible eye, deep knowledge of the market and highly strategic approach has been pivotal for our global, creative search endeavors - and Charlotte's talent agility has been indispensable in connecting the firm to emerging talent. They are not just team members, but partners in the architecting of KHC's next chapter, and I’m so excited to see what we build next together. Their advancement is a testament to their hard work and the bright future they will help shape for KHC.” - Karen Harvey
