Before joining the team, I gained five years of experience in a regional placement search firm. At the time, I was aspiring to expand my industry expertise and grow my career. I saw an opportunity to work with extremely talented, open-doored leaders that wanted to support my development. How could I say no?

With the nature of this business, no day is the same. But one thing I can say with confidence is that every single day our focus is driving organizational transformation and unleashing the full potential for our clients’ organizations.

My job is to help our clients scale their middle-management and executive teams by sourcing top candidates with targeted research. I love the chance to support and build relationships with some of the most brilliant individuals in the world on a day-to-day basis.

5. In what ways — big or small — do you live out our mission of unleashing human potential?

Never a day goes by where I do not think or ask how I can do my best to unleash human potential. It has inspired me to continue to build strong relationships by putting time and effort into the little things and staying connected with our team.
