CHICAGO, June 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Heidrick & Struggles (Nasdaq: HSII), a premier provider of executive search, leadership assessment and development, organization and team effectiveness, and culture shaping services globally, releases its 2018 Superaccelerators—an elite group among the world's 500 most highly valued companies that have achieved high levels of sustained organic growth and profitability.
In the third year that Heidrick & Struggles has tracked and reported its list of Superaccelerators, just 19 companies globally made the cut, down from 25 companies in 2017 and 23 in 2016. This year's list included 11 newcomers, or 58%, compared with 44% in 2017. "The Superaccelerator companies have demonstrated the proven ability to achieve enduring, profitable growth in an era of rapid change and market disruption," said Andrew LeSueur, Global Managing Partner, Heidrick Consulting. "They come from a variety of industries and, this year, more than two thirds are from outside the United States." While the U.S. dominated the list for the past two years, the 2018 Superaccelerators have shifted toward more representation from Asia Pacific companies, with 11 hailing from the region. That includes seven from mainland China and one from Hong Kong, China—up from six from Greater China in 2017 and just three in 2016. Only six of the 2018 Superaccelerators are based in the United States, down from 16 in both 2017 and 2016. Two 2018 Superaccelerators are based in Europe, up from zero in 2017 and one in 2016. 2018 Superaccelerators (ranked by market capitalization in US dollars as of May 31, 2018; asterisk indicates company is a first-time superaccelerator):
