Egon Zehnder's 2014 fiscal performance continues a year-over-year growth trajectory, driven in part by significant gains in mature markets across Europe, namely the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the Nordic markets; in Australia; and coupled with continued double-digit growth in the United States, the firm's fastest-paced growth market. The firm increased its global footprint in 2014 with the formal addition of a Washington, DC office, raising its total to 69 offices across 41 countries.
