Page Executive France

Maximilian Redolfi
Managing Partner, France & Italy

“Welcome to Page Executive France!

We believe executive search starts with understanding what matters most to an organisation: its ambitions, its challenges and the senior leadership capabilities it needs to move forward.

Across France, expectations of senior leaders are evolving. Organisations need executives who can navigate uncertainty, lead transformation and create clarity and momentum, while building trust across their businesses. At the same time, what leaders expect from organisations is changing too. Purpose, transparency and meaningful development increasingly sit alongside compensation when considering the right opportunity.

Understanding both sides of that equation is essential. Our teams are deeply connected to the French executive market and, through Page Executive’s global network, bring an international perspective to every search. We combine curiosity, market insight and close partnership to challenge assumptions, uncover opportunities and help clients make informed leadership decisions.

Our commitment is to be a partner you can count on, focused not simply on making an appointment, but on helping you secure the leadership your organisation needs to deliver today and shape what comes next.”

Page Executive France – The Right Leadership, The Right Partner

At Page Executive France, we help organisations across sectors and at different stages of growth make confident leadership decisions. Our expertise spans Consumer & Retail, Industrial, Technology, Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Human Resources and Finance, connecting clients with senior leaders who can deliver against today’s priorities while preparing their organisations for what comes next.

Our Principals, Partners and Research Specialists combine deep industry and functional expertise with a strong understanding of the French executive market. Every search begins with curiosity: understanding your organisation, its ambitions, culture and challenges, and defining the leadership capabilities that will make the greatest difference.

Your mandate is led by an experienced Principal or Partner who remains closely involved throughout the search, supported by our dedicated in-house Research team. Together, they combine human judgement, market insight and extensive networks to identify and engage senior talent, including leaders who may not be actively considering their next opportunity.

Our partnership extends beyond individual appointments. We bring clients market and talent intelligence, compensation insights, governance advisory and succession planning, drawing on the perspective we gain from executive mandates and leadership conversations across France and internationally. This helps our clients understand the market, challenge assumptions and make more informed decisions about the leadership they need.

As part of Page Executive’s global network, our France team also works closely with colleagues across markets to bring international perspective to local leadership challenges and support cross-border mandates. The result is a partnership grounded in insight, strengthened by expertise and focused on delivering what matters most to your organisation.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)

At Page Executive, we believe that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) are not just values; they are essential drivers of innovation, resilience, and long-term success. As organisations worldwide strive to create workplaces that reflect these principles, we are committed to leading by example and partnering with clients to achieve meaningful change.

We work closely with businesses to design and implement inclusive hiring strategies that go beyond compliance, ensuring access to truly diverse talent pools. Our consultative approach helps organisations embed DE&I into their leadership structures, fostering teams that deliver creativity, innovation, and sustainable growth. From advising on best practices to sourcing exceptional candidates, we support clients in building cultures where every individual can thrive.

By embedding effective principles into our own hiring strategies, we aim to lead by example. Our global initiatives complement this client-focused work. Rooted in a shared vision to positively impact one million lives by 2030, champion gender parity in senior leadership, and contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, we combine thought leadership with action.

Our commitment also comes to life through key events that address topics still underrepresented in executive spaces, such as a roundtable we organized in Paris on Disability and Leadership , creating space for an important and often overlooked conversation within the executive sphere. The Michael Page business also marked Pride Month with a reverse mentorship initiative focused on identity, inclusion, and allyship. And we continue our engagement with Femmes@Numérique , contributing to discussions on parity, inclusive governance, and the concrete actions needed to advance diversity at senior levels. These and other initiatives reflect our belief that executive search firms are not simply observers, but active contributors to meaningful, systemic change.

At Page Executive France, we believe that inclusive leadership is not a trend or a checkbox. It is a strategic imperative and a vital ingredient of resilient, future ready organisations. Through our partnerships, events, and day to day advisory work, we remain committed to elevating diverse voices, challenging norms, and helping shape leadership that reflects the world it serves.
