As a C-level search and advisory executive with a record of success in recruiting leadership teams at top search firms—SpencerStuart and Russell Reynolds Associates and now Boardspan—I lead and direct board searches and advisory services with a holistic lens to power strategic, high-performing boards capable of meeting today’s governance challenges. Known as a trusted advisor and knowledgeable resource for marketplace insights, governance and search, I help boards build alignment, address challenges, bolster business success and add more value. Employing a high-touch, relationship-driven approach to board recruiting—complementing digital governance solutions—I deliver high-impact, world-class placements in a fraction of the time. My consistent record of placing successful long-term executive and board hires over 20 years underpins my reputation for credibility, integrity and in-depth understanding of the client, candidate and market. In this very human business, warmth and energy—combined with cultural astuteness honed while living in London and Tokyo—enable me to quickly establish rapport with clients and candidates in all industries, as well as cultivate long-lasting advisory relationships based on respect, agility and delivering results. With a quality focus and deep relationship cultivation, I excel in capturing the links between a candidate’s experience and the needs of the board and company when sourcing high-caliber directors. Over the years, I have partnered with boards and CEOs to source strategic leadership and solve for critical business needs—assessing priorities to address issues central to the success of a company, creatively redirecting or reverse engineering a search to solve for expertise and asking smart questions to unearth essentials, insights, people and networks. My board-level recruiting and advisory work is extremely meaningful to me, and I feel privileged to be part of building optimal boards across various industries. Through my targeted search approach—providing comprehensive client, candidate and process management—I have won the confidence of senior-most corporate executives and directors by identifying transformational and diverse leaders to drive business results, culture and strategy.
