Knowledge Partners
At Headlight International, we have spent 25 years developing an outstanding network of sources. At the same time, we recognize that a “generalist boutique” can sometimes struggle to have in-depth knowledge of all the different environments we operate in. While we have experienced colleagues and a proven methodology for quickly adapting to new contexts, we have now established a concept called “Knowledge Partners” – a group of exceptional experts with specialized knowledge in various fields. These experts may be functional specialists or bring insights into specific industries.
