Growth Through Hiring and MD Productivity
HL has increased its Managing Director Headcount by a CAGR of 10% over the last 20 years through internal promotions,
opportunistic hirings, and strategic acquisitions.
History of Growing Managing Director Headcount
2003
HL has maintained solid MD productivity through the cycles. Productivity increased in FY21 and FY22 due to significantly less travel
and more time for deal execution as a result of COVID-19.
