Heidrick & Struggles to Present at the William Blair
Growth Stock Conference
CHICAGO (June 17, 2008) — Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSII), the world’s premier executive search and leadership consulting firm, today announced that it will be presenting at William Blair & Company’s Annual Growth Stock Conference on June 19, 2008 at 11:50 a.m. CDT. Chief Executive Officer L. Kevin Kelly will discuss the company’s business and its strategy for growth.
Mr. Kelly said, “Based on our search confirmations to date and revenue achieved through May, we still expect to be within the range provided for 2008 net revenue guidance of $650 million to $670 million. I also believe that we are on track at this point to achieve an operating margin of approximately 13 percent, assuming we are able to fully realize the cost savings initiatives that we started to implement earlier this quarter. I expect that the next six weeks will provide a lot more clarity on our progress.”
