# Anker Bioss

> Anker Bioss is a leadership advisory and executive-capability firm with offices in London, Houston, and Monterrey. It builds capability across three layers — Institutional, Organizational, and Individual — so judgment travels, strategy holds, and growth happens in flow.

Anker Bioss works with founders, CEOs, boards, and HR/talent leaders. Its practice centers on stewardship, governance, executive succession, organizational design, capability analysis, talent systems, executive assessment, and leadership development. The firm's proprietary standards include the Advisory Model, Kohmes™ (competency-management platform), Nature of Work (the underlying complexity a role must handle), Levels of Work (institutional grammar of stratification, kept inside client work, not on public pages), and the capability / ability / capacity distinction that anchors how the firm reasons about people and organizations.

Language: The site is fully bilingual, English (primary at `/`) and Spanish (primary at `/es/`). Each English page has a Spanish counterpart declared via `hreflang`.
