Our agents are emotionally and professionally committed to our talent. We don’t sell products, but provide global talent management expertise to our talents.
Agents exchange their bespoke services for a fixed annual fee based on the compensation level of the talent they represent.
At Bigfish, we evaluate prospective members based on the impact of their achievements and potential. We are looking for individuals who hold senior leadership positions (President, CEO, Chairperson of the Board, Managing Director, Managing Partner, or Equivalent title) and of course rising executives with the ambition of becoming the leaders of tomorrow.
Our agents come from different cultural backgrounds and bring a wealth of perspectives, ideas, and expertise that is just as varied as that of the talents they represent. All of them have:
- A proven track record in talent management
- Guided demanding profiles in complex environments
- 15+ years of experience in top management and executive coaching
- A strong and ethical backbone
In addition to agents, Bigfish has industry experts who, upon request, can help agents answer technical or specific questions our talent may have (go-to-market strategies, salary benchmark, tax advice, crisis management, etc.).
