I started ESS out of my apartment in August 2000. I realized that the best way to grow the business was by reinvesting in our people. The team at ESS makes the difference. Our culture is second to none and our retention rate is in the top 5% in an industry that has a lot of turnover. I strive to have open lines of communication and empower everyone who works here to be their best selves both inside and out of the office. I believe the culture we have built extends to the customers we serve. I take great pride in seeing clients continually working with our firm and nominating ESS for various industry awards.2020 Forbes Magazine Top 250 Executive Search Firm2019 Forbes Magazine Top 250 Executive Search Firm2018 Forbes Magazine Top 250 Executive Search Firm2017 Forbes Magazine Top 250 Executive Search Firm2009-2022 Modern Healthcare Top 30 Executive Search Firm2019 Best Places to Work in Columbus, Ohio2017 Best Places to Work in Columbus, Ohio2016 Best Places to Work in Columbus Ohio - Spirit Award (#1 out of 50)2016 Best Places to Work in Columbus Ohio 2013 Best Places to Work in Columbus Ohio 2012 Best Places to Work in Columbus Ohio 2009 Best Places to Work in Columbus Ohio

“In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.” Sheryl SandbergI am an advocate for women, especially women entrepreneurs and leaders, who want to positively impact their companies, teams and customers. I started and built a successful company 20 years ago. I know what it feels like to start in an apartment, sign your first lease, hire your first employee and grow the business to be one of the top firms in the country. Along the way of hiring and working with women, I realized that some of the best ideas on workplace culture have come from these dynamic women. I've seen firsthand how women make the work place better and I'm highly motivated to helping them thrive as leaders. Because of my experience with these female leaders, I've modified my work from home program, created a better maternity program, and enhanced the workplace in many other ways that benefit all members of the team. Just because you own a business or are in a leadership role, does not mean you have it all figured out. I have an array of tools available to help you gain awareness, build habits and be your best self. Take the first step to increasing your impact on the world, the people around and most importantly yourself.
