The wrong leader costs more than any search fee.

Intro
Executive search firms can be effective, but they’re expensive and often transactional.
I work differently.
I take the time to deeply understand your business, brand, and stage so we’re aligned on what “right” actually looks like. I partner closely with founders and leadership teams to define the role, assess true leadership fit, and run a disciplined executive search that prioritizes long-term impact, not short-term placement.
This is hands-on search and judgment, not volume recruiting. The goal is simple: hire the right leader to move the business forward.
Who This Is For
- Founders hiring their first executive or senior leader
- CEOs preparing for scale and increased board expectations
- Teams replacing a critical leader where the cost of a miss is high
- Companies that need leadership aligned to the next stage, not the last one
- Founders who want a thought partner, not just candidates.
What We Cover
- Executive role design and scope calibration
- Ideal profile definition and tradeoffs
- Search strategy and candidate outreach
- Interview process design and evaluation criteria
- Offer strategy and close support.
What You Walk Away With
- A clearly defined executive role tied to business outcomes
- Alignment on what “good” actually looks like at this stage
- A structured, high-signal interview process
- Confidence in the final decision, not relief it’s over
- Documentation that supports future leadership hires
