With over 25 years of executive search experience, I’ve built a track record of helping organizations—from global Fortune 100s to disruptive startups—hire game-changing leaders. At Hunt Club, we’re redefining search by combining white-glove service with a proprietary AI platform and a community of 25,000+ industry experts who open doors to the most sought-after talent. Our model blends network effects, technology, and expert consulting to help clients hire smarter and faster. My passion is advising corporate, PE, and VC-backed businesses on talent strategy—especially in marketing, digital innovation, corporate communications, and sales. I’ve led hundreds of successful searches for companies like PepsiCo, American Express, MasterCard, Honeywell, DirecTV, Fidelity, and many early-stage ventures. I’m particularly energized by placing visionary leaders in roles that are newly created or first-of-their-kind. I bring a values-driven approach to every search—guided by SEARCH: Smart, Efficient, Accountable, Resourceful, Collaborative, and focused on Happy Clients. I believe great search is less about process and more about results—delivered with speed, insight, and care.
