Based in Monterrey, Alder Koten delivers retained executive search for C-suite, board, and critical functional leaders across industrial, automotive, and metals businesses. The Monterrey market rewards executives who can professionalize operations without breaking family governance. Our work centers on succession risk, governance transitions, and leaders who can scale cross-border supply chains in a nearshoring economy.
Companies seeking headhunters in Monterrey choose us for deep market mapping and bilingual assessment that surface leaders beyond active job markets. We connect local operating realities with North American expectations, aligning CEO, COO, and supply chain leadership to both plant-floor execution and board-level governance.
Led by founding partner Felipe Llaguno, our Monterrey practice advises industrial and commercial boards on succession, governance transitions, and senior leadership placements.
Monterrey is one of Mexico's most industrially sophisticated metros, anchored by groups such as CEMEX, Grupo ALFA, Vitro, and Ternium. This concentration of heavy industry and export manufacturing under USMCA creates sustained demand for leaders who manage capital intensity, cost discipline, and global customer requirements.
Nearshoring has intensified competition for bilingual COOs, CFOs, and HR leaders as multinationals such as Siemens, GE, Samsung, and Toyota expand advanced manufacturing footprints. The critical tension is professionalizing family-owned enterprises without eroding legacy culture, which calls for transformation leaders who can modernize systems while preserving long-term stewardship.
Monterrey's leadership pipeline benefits from institutions such as Tecnológico de Monterrey, yet the most impactful candidates remain passive. We provide compensation intelligence, succession mapping, and governance-fit assessment to help boards secure executives who can move between local conglomerates and global operating models.
Leadership needs vary by industry. Our sector focus across the Americas, with reach into select global markets, helps you secure leaders who fit your market and moment.
