American Executive Management, Inc. (AEM) is recognized as a leading executive search firm with a worldwide client base.  Founded in 1977 by Ed Cloutier, AEM specialized in strategic business planning for clients in the Design, Engineering and Construction Industry.  Over the years, the company has developed its international retained executive search service and is now recognized as a leader in recruitment of management positions in this global industry.  Current and completed assignments are listed for your review.

AEM continues to provide international strategic business planning, acquisition analysis, and market research to clients with whom we have maintained an on-going relationship, over the years. 

AEM works only on a retainer basis in executive search. We limit the number of clients in each industry we serve. This self-imposed limitation allows a broader selection of potential candidates.  We do not accept assignments that may present a business conflict with current assignments or clients. Our global network allows us to seek out the best candidates for each assignment.  AEM has earned its reputation by attracting quality candidates and completing over 2500 retained executive searches. 

AEM has earned the position of being "one of America’s leading executive search firms based, not on size and volume but, on their quality of work, performance and client satisfaction." *
