AETHOS Consulting Group™

Founded in 2013, AETHOS Consulting Group™ is a boutique human capital advisory firm serving the global hospitality industry.

AETHOS™ delivers specialized advisory services in executive search, organization development and compensation consulting.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH
AETHOS™ helps organizations identify and attract impactful leaders capable of delivering transformational outcomes. Clients partner with us for our subject matter expertise and institutional knowledge of the hospitality industry. We understand multiple functional leadership areas spanning both enterprise and property levels, that include, but are not limited to acquisitions, asset management, design and construction, development, finance, food and beverage, human resources, investment management, information technology, marketing and brand management, operations, revenue management and sales.

Search preparation not only includes a focus on job parameters, but also the personal qualifications required consistent with organizational culture. By identifying your organization’s unique company culture and its success metrics, we can match you with like-minded, highly productive prospects.

The search process not only includes behavioral interviews, we also utilize our proprietary assessment tool, 2020 Skills, created for service-hospitality organizations (designed in conjunction with Cornell University). This assessment provides information to be used during the interview process in areas such as execution skills, people skills and creativity/problem solving.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our organizational development practice partners with clients to align leadership behaviors, organizational structure and development initiatives with evolving business strategies and a constantly changing marketplace.

AETHOS™ expertise includes areas such as performance management, learning and development, and coaching processes that ensure employees at all levels are prepared to execute their positions’ demands while focused on the organization’s business priorities.

AETHOS™ utilizes leadership assessment tools to provide leader participants with a comparison of their self-assessment and their assessment by others, creating leader insight into how their actions support or detract from a culture that maximizes organizational performance. This information is then used to identify leadership strategies to foster positive behavioral change in leaders that will encourage more constructive behaviors on the part of others.
