Ernst David International Inc. was founded in 1985 by Ernest Warkentin following a successful corporate career. As a major purchaser of executive search services throughout North America, he realized that the high level of partnership he sought from search firms was simply not available at that time. He recognized that there was an opportunity to provide the kind of service he sought, and left corporate life to establish Ernst David International Inc.

From its inception, all of the Associates of Ernst David International have been committed to contributing to the success of our client organizations by creating solid partnerships and delivering successful results. We have achieved this through the hands-on involvement of our highly qualified Associates.

Our Associates are all former corporate executives who have served in their previous roles in executive leadership for many years in a wide range of industries. This tremendous depth of experience provides us with unique insights into the importance of delivering value-added solutions that take into account each client’s unique business environment, organizational structure, corporate culture, and growth needs.
