  -- In Great Britain, China and the U.S., Heidrick & Struggles adds senior
     executive search consultants to Global Technology Services practice.
  -- New partners bring particular expertise in digital, mobile, cloud and big
     data.

CHICAGO, May 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heidrick & Struggles International,
Inc. (Nasdaq:HSII), a premier professional services firm serving the talent and
leadership needs of top organizations globally, has expanded the capabilities
of its Global Technology Services (GTS) practice on three continents
anticipating global demand for cloud-and-mobile savvy senior executive talent. 

'As more technology companies look to leverage the cloud and to deliver
solutions in a mobile world, we are seeing an increased need for senior talent
who fully understand these technologies and can develop forward-looking
go-to-market strategies,' said Mike Cullen, global practice managing partner
for the firm's GTS practice. 'Many companies are now working to develop
strategic succession plans with cloud and mobile technologies firmly in mind.' 

New to the firm's GTS team are:

  -- Shane Burgess, a partner at the London office. He previously led the
     digital/technology/media practice at an international executive search
     firm, and before that had been a key member of another firm's global
     technology and digital media team.
  -- George Huang, partner-in-charge of Heidrick & Struggles' Beijing
     office, leading GTS in China as well as the firm's Board of Directors
     practice in China. He brings to the firm more than 18 years of experience
     in leadership roles in the technology and search industries, in the U.S.,
     Latin America and China. He previously worked at a global executive search
     firm as managing director--China and co-led that firm's Asia Pacific
     technology sector, conducting a wide range of board and senior executive
     assignments in both China and Chinese enterprise settings.
  -- Loran Kaminsky joins Heidrick & Struggles as a partner in the Menlo
     Park, California, office. He brings extensive software and consulting
     search experience, having spent the past five years as a managing partner
     at a global search firm, specializing in the IT and professional services
     sectors with particular expertise in mobility, cloud and big data product
     offerings.

'We've added three extremely accomplished consultants as partners to help meet
our clients' executive talent and leadership needs,' Cullen says. 'Shane is a
commanding presence in the digital space in the U.K. and very strong across
Europe. He has also worked for a number of clients in the U.S and we will
ensure he continues to help bridge the Atlantic.' 

Numerous Chinese tech companies recently have increased their global footprints
through innovation and speed to market--and more companies in China are looking
for these qualities in their senior executives, Cullen said. 'George has worked
with many companies in the technology and services sector and can provide
high-level leadership consulting to both international and local private and
state-owned enterprises. His experience and insight will be immensely valuable
in helping our clients build the best-in-class teams they need to support their
business expansion in China, as well as to compete in the global arena.' 

Cullen added: 'Loran has strong relationships throughout the software and
consulting services sectors. He also brings additional perspective as a former
client, having served as the vice president for recruiting at People Soft. As
we continually look to deepen our relationships with our clients, our practice
team will benefit from his understanding of how clients can be best served by
their talent and leadership advisors.'
