ZRG acquires marketing and sales executive search firm

March 14, 2024

ZRG, the seventh-largest US executive search firm, acquired Wiser Partners, a Cincinnati-headquartered executive search firm focused on marketing and sales roles.

“By welcoming Wiser Partners, ZRG gains valuable experience in working with marketing, sales and analytics senior executives at Fortune 100 consumer packaged goods companies, private equity-owned, venture capital-backed and family-owned firms,” ZRG CEO Larry Hartmann said in a press release.

Founded in 1994, Wiser Partners specializes in digital marketing and e-commerce executive searches, with offices in multiple locations across the US, including Cincinnati; Columbia, South Carolina; New York; Stamford, Connecticut; Sacramento, California; Austin, Texas; Minneapolis; Raleigh, North Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Naples, Florida.

“ZRG shares our boutique approach, including the way we engage clients and how we focus on delivering a quality experience for our clients,” Wiser Partners managing partner and founder David Wiser said in a press release. “We are excited and honored to be part of the global ZRG family where we can now support our clients with a global team and with a broader product set to solve our clients’ human capital challenges.”

The move comes after ZRG’s February acquisition of Ignata Finance Group, a UK-based executive search and finance recruitment business.

Other recent acquisitions by ZRG include Seba International, The Registry, Helbling and Associates, Hub Recruiting, RoseRyan Inc., Terra Search Partners and Brimstone Consulting Group.
