The Ezekia Team at the 2025 AESC Global Summit in London

The Ezekia team was out in full force at the 2025 AESC Global Summit in London, joining global leaders from across executive search, leadership advisory, and corporate talent to explore the future of leadership in a world shaped by AI, resilience, and innovation.

Hosted by the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC), the two-day event brought together search firms, consultants, and C-suite leaders from around the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the profession.

Highlights from the Summit

This year’s theme centred on human-centred leadership in an AI-powered world. From sessions on trust and innovation to deeply moving personal narratives, the atmosphere was electric with insight and energy.

One of the standout moments came from Sarah de Lagarde, whose keynote touched on resilience, vulnerability, and the power of reframing adversity. Her story was a reminder that leadership is not just about capability, it’s also about courage, community, and purpose.

Beyond the keynote, the Summit offered rich discussions on digital transformation, global talent trends, and the role of AI in shaping the executive search landscape. It was a privilege to be part of such a high-calibre gathering of professionals who care deeply about the future of leadership.

A Global Conversation That Matters

This year’s AESC Summit reinforced what many in the industry already feel, that the future of executive search lies at the intersection of technology and human insight. It’s not AI vs people - it’s AI with people.

Ezekia was proud to be part of the conversation, learning from peers, reconnecting with clients, and sharing how CRM and AI-driven tools are redefining the profession.

Thank you to AESC for an inspiring event. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
