Testimonials

Leaders on working with us.

Continuous, readable dark cards highlighting client experiences.

Filled our audit committee chair seat in under four weeks. Two strong finalists, both board-ready. That almost never happens on the first pass.

Catherine R.

Nom/Gov Committee Chair

Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure

They challenged our brief early on — pushed back on scope in a way that actually saved us time. Most firms just nod and start sourcing.

Malcolm T.

CEO

Industrial Automation

First search firm that gave me a straightforward brief and an honest timeline before asking me to commit. That matters when you sit on three other boards.

Priya K.

Independent Director (Placed)

Digital Health

Knew our sector cold. The shortlist felt like it came from someone who had actually sat through our board meetings.

Douglas W.

Board Member

Consumer Fintech

We needed a public-company audit chair in a niche vertical. Two qualified candidates surfaced within ten business days.

Sandra L.

General Counsel

Specialty Insurance

No filler updates, no unnecessary calls. Just steady progress and candidates that actually matched what we asked for.

Richard H.

CFO

B2B Payments

Upfront about compensation range, timing, and what the board actually wanted. Straightforward the entire way through. That is rare in this space.

Elena V.

Advisory Board Member (Placed)

Enterprise SaaS

Our last firm took four months and brought one viable name. This engagement wrapped in five weeks with a stronger bench.

Jonathan M.

CHRO

Advanced Manufacturing

Brought candidates we genuinely would not have found on our own. That is the entire point of a retained search, and most firms miss it.

Margaret D.

Board Chair

Healthcare IT

Responsive, well-prepared, and kept the timeline tight. We have used larger firms in the past — this was a better experience overall.
