Becky represented my current company in a national executive search for a CHRO. She balanced the needs of the organization and my needs in ultimately placing me for the role.

I worked with Becky on a Board of Directors search for a national brand. Becky was hands-on, a great sherpa, very informed, knowledgeable, and a delight to work with. She is unmatched in her integrity, ethics, and business acumen.
Becky has created one of those rare Executive Recruiting organizations which can play effectively for both their paying client and the candidates they bring in. She creates a great “Candidate Experience” and ultimately enables the hiring organization to bring in the right person for the job.

When I contemplated moving out of state, Becky’s insightful questions led to many long conversations. That’s when Becky’s expertise became apparent.
