NEW YORK, April 3, 2025 – Spencer Stuart, a leading global executive search and leadership advisory firm, today announced the launch of Spencer Stuart Portugal. By extending its European footprint into Portugal and having consultants based in the country, the firm is increasing its capacity both to serve Portuguese clients and non-Portuguese multinationals. Two Spencer Stuart consultants, Murillo Tavares and Tania Binder, will be based in Lisbon. They will be supported by Jaime Gil-Casares, who leads the firm’s Barcelona and Madrid offices.
“The time is right for us to have a permanent presence in Portugal,” said Luigi Paro, head of the EMEA region for Spencer Stuart. “Portugal has a stable and diverse economy, a thriving business-friendly culture and a highly skilled workforce. Prospects for economic growth are having a positive impact on the business community and on foreign direct investment.”
“I am delighted that we are launching our business in Portugal at a time of strong growth across multiple sectors, from technology and renewable energy to hospitality and financial services,” said Gil-Casares. “In Murillo and Tania we have two highly experienced consultants and we look forward to finding and developing leadership talent for the benefit of clients operating businesses in Portugal.”
