Page Executive had the honour of contributing to academic excellence at Università LUMSA, participating in the international course Methods and Techniques of Selection and Assessment of Human Resources.

Our Partner Ilaria Di Noi was invited as a guest speaker to share real world insights from the world of executive search, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and the practical realities of assessing and selecting top leadership talent.

A warm thank‑you goes to Barbara Bertolucci for the invitation and the warm welcome, and to LUMSA for continuing to foster dialogue between academia and industry.

A Conversation at the Intersection of Academia and Executive Search

At Page Executive, we believe that knowledge exchange is essential to advancing our profession.

  • During the session, Ilaria introduced students to:
  • the evolving landscape of executive search,
  • the increasing complexity of talent acquisition at senior levels,
  • and the capabilities that define successful recruiters in today’s market.

Her contribution offered a firsthand look at how leadership roles are assessed, how organisations navigate a competitive talent environment, and why human insight and rigorous methodology remain essential to decision making.

Preparing Future Leaders in HR and Organisational Psychology

The session formed part of the international programme within LUMSA’s Human Sciences Department – Work Psychology and Organisational Well Being.

This academic context provided fertile ground for a rich exchange of ideas on:

  • assessment methodologies
  • leadership potential
  • candidate evaluation
  • and the importance of ethical, human centred recruitment practices.

Engaging with future HR and organisational psychology professionals is always inspiring and contributes to building a stronger, more informed talent ecosystem for the future.

At Page Executive, we remain committed to supporting learning, sharing expertise, and contributing to the development of the next generation of HR and talent experts.
