A Strategic Approach
to Pivotal Hires
I don't operate on hope. I operate on evidence. Every candidate I present has been vetted for long-term success, not just résumé fit.
1. Define Success - I go beyond the job description to understand the strategic impact this role will have. What does success look like in 90 days? 12 months? I align both sides on expectations before anyone’s time is invested.
2. Find Passive, Proven leaders - The best candidates aren’t actively looking—they’re building value in their current roles. I identify and represent executives who are confidentially open to the right opportunity, not those flooding the market with applications.
3. Verify Everything - My vetting process protects both sides: stability patterns (no flight risks), backchannel references (beyond the curated list), technical credibility (proven project delivery), cultural alignment (work style, pace, decision-making), and motivation clarity (why this role, why now).
4. Back It With a Guarantee - For select executive placements, I offer a 12-month guarantee with replacement or refund protection. I only present candidates I’m confident will succeed—and I stand behind that confidence.

Built for the Long Term
I don’t chase volume. I place leaders who will still be with you in five years, not five months. That’s why I back select placements with extended guarantees—because I verify fit before anyone moves.

Your Strategic Partner
for Key Hires.
My approach was forged in the U.S. Army: mission-driven focus, relentless discipline, and commitment to getting the objective right.
Today, I apply that philosophy to AEC executive search. I’m not a generalist recruiter—I’m a specialist partner for your most pivotal hires. I work with PE firms, infrastructure investors, and growth-stage operators who understand that transformational talent drives transformational outcomes.
I’m selective about the searches I take on because every placement reflects my standards, not just yours.
