Warren Buffet commented that; “Look for three things in a person…intelligence, energy, and integrity. If they don’t have the last, don’t bother with the first two.”

And, it’s all about reputation…earned over years and with a realization that it can evaporate in an instant.

The success of our clients and indeed, as we view our responsibility, centers on a commitment of “investing” in each client to ensure that we have the insights to truly evaluate “who” has the rare ability and fortitude to drive, or govern, innovative change in an era of accelerating pace and within the context of investor expectations.

In 2014, we are pleased to report that once, again, The Koblentz Group successfully completed 100% of the “sensitive” client mandates entrusted to us, conducting many with continuing clients. If our clients weren’t totally satisfied, obviously, these leaders would turn elsewhere.

This achievement reflects our commitment to integrity, professionalism and quality advice, winning client trust and in our communities, by placing each client’s interests and matters, well above ours.

As we enter 2015, the continuing hallmark of The Koblentz Group will be simple…to only accept Board of Director, Board evaluations, CEO succession and senior executive search engagements in which we have a high degree of confidence. And once agreed, we commit to work diligently until each mandate is successfully completed. From our perspective, it is the surest way to earn your trust.

On behalf of my colleagues and our Firm, thank you for believing in us.

Wishing you a healthy and professionally successful 2015.
