Our Firm
We are defined by our people and are deeply committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture.
A warm welcome
AMS Advisors was established with the ever-increasing demand from our clients to provide human capital solutions, in markets with a need for “compelling change”.
AMS Advisor’s unique combination of talent and data driven technology gives us the ability to turn ideas into reality, quickly and accurately. We see opportunities and we create value to make the most of them.
We are data led, generated from our proprietary technologies. Our sister entity, a software technology early enabler in text to speech and generative analytics, allows us to foresee trends in the market with people, by companies, functions, teams, locations and separately, be able to cross analyse against diversity indexes such as age, gender and culture elements such as nationality.
Usually, we are first aware of market talent movement considerations. We are best suited for firms undergoing transformative change or early-stage start-up / newco situations. Rapid response being a key element, with local knowledge and global outreach.
Geographically, we focus on transformative markets that either set the standards for innovation / change, or strive towards it:
- Saudi Arabia as part of country vision programs
- France, a market undervalued but with high-potential upside
- Scandinavia, a leader in diversity and sustainability that continues to push the envelope
- Benelux, driven by specialised businesses that deliver high-demand products and solutions
Our people stay with our firm. We aim to hire the best people in the marketplace and we make sure that they share our professional values and rewarded at the highest levels in the market. We hire on merit and experience, not just potential, while our partnership structure fosters a culture of conservative risk management. We have the right people and the right information.
We are not a corporation tied to earning pressures nor here to increase returns to our shareholders. Instead, we accept engagements that are aligned with our business principles.
Our entire firm is based on a partnership model for all our employees, all of which are shareholders. Our Executive Management Team consists of seasoned professionals from a variety of sectors. Our people have a very real interest in seeing success across every part of the business.
This is a confederation of entrepreneurs in which everyone works together for the greater good of both the business and our customers. The partnership model is not confined to inward-facing expressions. Far from it. Our clients and partners, our relationships with them are born of equality, mutual respect and the desire to build and sustain lasting value for both parties.
We are fortunate to have experts in our firm who have collectively worked across all continents, previously holding senior management positions with prestigious and globally recognised firms.
We pride ourselves on having a flat structure, allowing us to optimise information flow and ideas, providing our clients with exceptional products and services, almost in real-time.

We are the trusted advisor to our clients and a reputable business to our partners. We believe we have an obligation to society as a good corporate citizen. We believe we will be successful if our clients and partners are successful. This means we deliver more value than expected.
We behave as professionals in all what we do, upholding absolute integrity and respect to local custom and culture. Above all, we adhere to local law and ethical codes of conduct.
In all what we do, we will not comprise on quality and we will choose assignments we truly believe we can add value to and not accept those that we do not.
There are no shareholders or other outsiders to whom we answer, allowing our financial related ideas to be truly independent and telling our clients the truth. We stay independent and able to disagree, regardless of the popularity of our views or their effect on our finances. This is a key competitive advantage we carry.
We focus on long-term goals, building a strong and sustainable firm, enduring times of bullish and bearish markets alike.
Our clientele and partners remain strictly confidential and we never reveal sensitive information. This typically means we cannot and will not promote our good work. Instead, we focus on making our clients and partners successful.
We believe in helping each other, intensely dedicated to developing and coaching one another and our clients and partners. Ours is a firm of leaders who want the freedom to do what they think is right.
