The acquisition is a significant moment for 20/20 Foresight as it embarks on an aggressive growth phase by expanding its platform into new industries and practice areas. Saenger Associates will operate under its new name, Saenger Associates, a 20/20 Foresight Company, and will continue serving its long-standing client relationships, now with the addition of 20/20’s powerful back-office database of more than 2 million contacts, research expertise and expanded search delivery efficiencies. 20/20 Foresight and Saenger Associates have previously served as industry colleagues, collaborating on successful searches conducted through IRC Global Executive Search Partners, the world’s largest executive search alliance.
“The acquisition of Saenger Associates represents exactly what 20/20 has been doing for years: leveraging our investments in technology, marketing and process by combining them with accomplished search consultants,” states Rob Peck, Managing Principal of 20/20 Foresight. “The deal enables 20/20 to make a foray into the manufacturing, distribution and supply chain areas of industrial and consumer products. This will be an immediate boost as it relates to our expansion into these key industries.”

“Working with Gary showed us how our teams could create unlimited opportunities for each other,” said Bob Cavoto, Managing Principal and Founder of 20/20 Foresight. “By combining our powerful internal infrastructure, including proprietary technology, the industry’s deepest database and extensive marketing resources, with Saenger Associates’ recruitment leadership in the manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain areas, the benefits for both companies are immeasurable as are the benefits for our clients and candidates.”
Per Gary Saenger, “We immediately are expanding our practice by recruiting and hiring several new experienced search consultants who can attract and deliver top-quality retained searches. I founded our firm more than two decades ago on the principles of personalized attention and a commitment to meaningful, long-lasting results. I insisted that each and every search we performed has two winners – the corporate client and the executive candidate. We treat both with equal professional respect. By partnering with a well-respected firm such as 20/20 Foresight, I now have the technological and marketing horsepower to catapult our initiatives to the next level.
