Continual growth leads to Davidson’s permanent expansion into Adelaide

Davidson is excited to enter a new phase of growth in 2020 by opening its fourth office in Australia, in Adelaide. A consistent increase in demand from the South Australian market for Davidson’s national expertise: in Search, Recruitment and Advisory services has predicated the permanent expansion into Adelaide.

Headed up by Melanie Pecanek, Senior Partner with Davidson Executive & Boards, we are excited to make a positive impact for South Australian business, with a strong focus on the Government, Health, Utilities and Not-For-Profit sectors.

Melanie was born in Adelaide and went to the University of Adelaide and holds a deep connection to South Australia. She is elated to be moving home, combining her local knowledge with her consulting expertise to bring an exceptional offering to the state.

Upon announcement of the move, Clare McCartin , Managing Partner of Davidson’s Executive & Boards Practice said “ Whilst Melanie will be greatly missed in our Melbourne office, we are so pleased to activate the next step of our business strategy and bring this unparalleled Search, Recruitment and Advisory service offering to Adelaide on a permanent basis .”

This new Adelaide office represents our commitment to continue to build on the success we have accomplished in other markets and we look forward to connecting with local business networks to show them what we can offer as an established and growing Search, Recruitment and Advisory firm.

If you are based in Adelaide and would like to talk with us about your next executive appointment, or how we can enhance your workplace performance please contact Melanie Pecanek for an introduction and informal discussion.
