We recognize that no one knows your organization like you do. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with you to develop a customized process; our goal is to capture insight and hear critical voices, so that your process reflects your organization’s unique needs.

We recruit CEOs and C-level leaders, with an established track record in critical functional areas: strategy, people, operations, finance, program, policy, impact investing and learning. Our clients are high-performing nonprofits, foundations, family offices, and mission-driven social enterprises working in fields such as health, democracy, public interest technology, education/workforce, global development.

We seek to become an extension of your organization, and invest deeply in understanding your mission, strategy, culture, and values. We conduct intensive market research and work tirelessly to find the right leader for this moment.

We intentionally engage with a select number of clients at a time—typically half the number of searches our competitors take on—so that we can complete each search with quality, speed, and care.

Our team is committed to fairness, inclusion and access to opportunity; we actively cultivate relationships with leaders who have varied life experiences as well as the skills needed to lead strong, innovative organizations.

As truth-tellers, we research, analyze and share what we’re learning – both from your team and in the market – to help you align your expectations with the best candidate fit. We personalize candidate follow ups and share weekly updates with you.

We act as your trusted agent in the market to engage top talent, leveraging vast cross-sector and cross industry networks (built over decades) to reach beyond the usual access points. We remain connected for months and years beyond the successful completion of a search.
