Our team offers hard-won experience in the nuanced process of attracting top talent for your key roles. We use a proven search methodology and have developed a unique graphical way of presenting an opportunity, often complimented by clients and candidates Our searches focus on CEO, VP, and Director levels across all functions, with sales and marketing positions leading the way.

The Principals of the firm had successful careers in senior leadership positions before entering search, some of which yielded IPOs and acquisitions. We know first-hand what personal qualities and functional skills are necessary for a demanding growth environment. In addition, we had been job seekers in the past and know what we liked (and didn’t like) with the search firms we’ve worked with prior to entering search and developed fresh approaches to the process.

We have leveraged our knowledge base to help many CEOs and PE firms attract hundreds of high-impact performers for their early and mature stage companies. Our “failure is not an option” attitude has resulted in an exemplary track record. Once we agree to a search, we fully commit to its successful completion, no matter how challenging.

We never take on a search for which we have insufficient bandwidth. Your search will also never be passed along to a junior-level associate. Every search is conducted by two Managing Partners who will be on every candidate interview and follow-up call with you and your team until successful completion.

Our client list includes some of the most iconic brands in the space. Yet, as a boutique firm, we can source from the hundreds of other top-flight brands in the marketplace who are not our clients.

In each search, we act as an extension of your organization. You want your brand to be accurately and favorably represented, and candidates to feel as though they are being treated courteously and professionally. We strive to achieve this on every assignment. Being a retained search firm we only present a candidate with one opportunity at a time, so you will never present compete with our other clients for the same individual.
