Sullivan returns to Heidrick

In the part-time role he will advise on marketing, client development and

expansion, as well as public relations.

Sullivan is on a five-year contract with Heidrick that began in 1999 when the

global firm bought his financial services boutique, Sullivan & Co.

He became managing partner of its global financial services practice, which had more

than 200 professionals at its height.

Heidrick & Struggles shed 100 headhunters globally last year. It made a net

loss of $20m (€18.1m) in the fourth quarter, improving on a $35.3m loss the year

before.

Sullivan is one of the firm's largest individual shareholders.
