Guiding Principles Team

Kinley & Connelly provides strong international reach and delivery through its strategic partnerships with three of the premiere Hi-Tech search firms in the U.S., Europe and Asia: Lonergan Richards of San Francisco; the Lancor Group in London and Brussels; and Goldstone & Co. in Hong Kong.

Lonergan Richards, Kinley & Connelly's Strategic U.S. Partner, was established on the principle that the selection of general management - especially the CEO - is the most important step a company can take to ensure its long-term success.

Working primarily with public companies, venture capital firms and investment banks, they provide access to top executives for technology firms, both in the Silicon Valley and around the world.

Michel Couke is the founder and Managing Partner of Kinley & Connelly's European Strategic Partner firm, the Lancor Group, based in London and Brussels.

The Lancor Group focuses on general management searches and leadership consulting throughout Europe and serves both multinational European companies in the telecom, IT and general technology markets.
