Managing Partner at Boyden with 25+ years experience in executive search.

This is my blog which answers many of the unique questions I get asked almost daily in my job.  These questions come to me from various audiences seeking input.  They include company founders, directors, various C-level executives, and candidates. 

Based out of both the US & Canada (dual citizen), I genuinely enjoy the executive search business and have been a Managing Partner with Boyden for over 25 years.  Boyden is one of the largest and most globally recognized executive search firms globally, and I am proud to be part of such a world-class organization.

I have a wide range of experience in finding world-class leadership.  I have recruited key individuals and entire management teams for industrial, manufacturing, technology, hospitality, energy, energy services, and automotive sectors in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.  Finding talent for leading start-ups, publicly or privately held organizations, and several Fortune 100 and 500 companies.

So I hope that my executive recruitment blog can help you:

  • succeed in your next executive recruitment effort
  • help you find the perfect leader for your company
  • teach you the value of a healthy working relationship with an executive recruitment firm like Boyden
  • learn how to prepare and work with recruiters to maximize your return on investment
  • find out other unique executive search insights and news
