Cornerstone Vancouver

Cornerstone Vancouver, established in 2013, our work is founded on active listening—to clients, candidates, and other stakeholders—prior executive experience in blue chip local and multi-national businesses, and the knowledge that we are only as good as our last assignment.

About Vancouver

Vancouver is Canada’s gateway city to Asia and one of North America’s most dynamic business centres. With its strategic Pacific Rim location, world-class port, and deep cultural and commercial ties to China and the broader Asia-Pacific region, Vancouver has become an essential hub for companies seeking to grow across the Pacific. The geopolitical shifts of the 2020s have further elevated Vancouver’s importance, as businesses on both sides of the ocean seek trusted partners to navigate an increasingly complex global landscape. As a leading centre for aerospace, shipbuilding, automotive, and advanced manufacturing, Vancouver offers unparalleled access to talent, markets, and opportunity—making it the ideal base for Cornerstone’s Executive and Partner Search practice.

Our values and commitment are underpinned by our adherence to the codes, ethics, and practices of the following professional bodies:

• Association of Executive Search Consultants – AESC (www.aesc.org)
• International Coaching Federation – ICF (www.coachfederation.org)

Our Core Services

Executive and Partner Search

We help companies hire their leaders. We have experience working with companies throughout the United States, Canada, and China, from startups to the Fortune 500, with industries covering Aerospace, Shipbuilding, Automotive, and Manufacturing.

We work closely with clients to understand their needs and culture, then develop a customized search strategy to find the right fit. Our industry knowledge and executive search expertise identify and attract the best candidates for each search assignment.

We have successfully placed executives worldwide to fill various leadership roles in North America, including top company management, Finance, Human Resources, and Operations Leaders. Through our superior customer service, we represent our clients in the executive & partner search market with a solid ethical and moral underpinning.

Career & Executive Coaching

Our team of coaches are professionals who have met stringent education and experience requirements and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies. They adhere to strict ethical guidelines that the International Coaching Federation (ICF) describes.

In Career Coaching, we provide critical transition support for executives facing transitions due to restructuring or opportunities arising internally as they transition from managerial roles to becoming true executive roles of their companies.

All Cornerstone executive coaches are accredited by ICF or its equivalents—it means Cornerstone has confidence in our coaching processes.

Interim & Fractional Placements

We provide flexible leadership solutions for organizations navigating transformation, succession, or growth. Our interim and fractional executives bring decades of senior experience to fill critical gaps, drive change, and deliver results—without the long-term commitment of a permanent hire.
