Lincoln International is headquartered in Chicago and managed on a globally integrated basis. Their leadership team is comprised of the Chairman, the Global Management Committee, CEOs of each country organization and the heads of the global industry and product groups. They draw on the over 90 managing directors worldwide to fill these various leadership positions.

The original leadership team that started the firm in 1996 remains in place and will continue for the foreseeable future. The leadership team has expanded to include key managing directors and country CEOs. This expanded leadership group assures the continuity of culture, strategy, growth and success going forward.

From inception through today, Lincoln International has always been committed to growth. They spend substantial leadership time in proactively and thoughtfully determining how best to grow. After determining the strategy, they consistently invest time and financial resources to strengthening their geographical reach, industry expertise, service offerings and human capital. They implement their growth plans in a way that Lincoln International can consistently maintain their high standards of client service and outcomes.

The most visible of their investments is the development of a global footprint for Lincoln, including substantial offices in the top 10 global economies. They have ensured that quality and culture are maintained by often expanding with high-quality people that they have known and worked with for many years. In each case, the senior management team of the new office has taken entrepreneurial risk, invested and become owners of Lincoln International because of their belief in the global vision and growth of Lincoln International. Building an integrated group of international offices under one culture is time consuming and requires substantial investment, but produces by far the best outcomes for clients.
