Our Expertise

Financial and Banking

One of our primary focuses has always been CFO and controller searches. While we have expanded into serving executive roles beyond the financial sector, we continue to have deep search capabilities in the financial practice and maintain a robust database of financial officer candidates. With over 30 years of successful financial executive placements, including banking and wealth management firms, we understand the diverse skillsets needed by the right candidate.

Supply Chain and Logistics

Supply chain disruptions affect every aspect of our economy – from shortages of essential consumer goods, luxuries, and producers of raw materials to inflation and higher prices, longer delivery times, and smaller available quantities. Leaders navigating this new business world are critical to a company's bottom line.

Thanks to our unique data-driven and relationship-based process, we have access to a network of critical executives with proven track records of designing, executing, and leading overall supply chain network strategy and optimization. Our network includes leaders in all phases of the supply chain, from procurement and purchasing raw materials to logistics and distribution. Our entire economy now relies on these rare individuals, and we can find them.

Industrial Manufacturing

We understand the intricacies of today’s sophisticated and stressed supply chains and lean manufacturing processes, the increase in AI, automation, robotics and IoT as well as today’s critical manufacturing labor shortage that also makes soft skills more important than ever before.

From concept to consumer, start-up to established brand, today’s manufacturing executives need a greater combination of hard and soft skills than ever before. We maintain a network of leadership talent that spans manufacturing from consumer goods and building materials to heavy machinery and electronics that enables us to find these unique individuals who can thrive in today’s industrial world.

Technology

In some ways, every company in our country is now a technology company. Though we work with technology-driven companies in various industries, because of our extensive financial services experience, one of our sweet spots is P/E-backed portfolio tech companies, where our high-touch personalized service and performance-based fees are highly valued.

Our years of experience understanding the sensibilities and requirements of the fast pace of high-growth technology companies and our vast network of P/E-experienced technology executives enables our clients to hire executives that hit the ground ready to contribute. In addition, our senior partner Traci Cupp has held leadership positions with multiple high performing technology firms, including data-driven consulting firm Gartner. She contributed to growth objectives in executive leadership and hiring roles. Those experiences and contacts have facilitated quick-to-close executive positions across the technology landscape, including hardware, enterprise software, SaaS, internet infrastructure, eComm and Fintech.

Real Estate

Today’s real estate industry is going through a transformation that may change forever. The advent of online marketing is disrupting the industry model based on personal selling, virtual tours, and easy online paperwork. Remote and hybrid work arrangements have weakened the commercial market, and the shortage of homes has turned the residential market into a potential bubble.

This situation calls for leaders who are nimble, creative, and adept at managing change. We have a long successful record of finding and hiring top executive talent for real estate firms in Atlanta and nationwide. We are finding these unique individuals in our vast talent network.

A/E/C

With the demand for skilled executives in AEC at an all-time high, the partners in our AEC Practice have the experience and network to not only identify the hidden t deliver them to our clients with a speed and level of detail not typically seen in our industry. Our thorough consultative approach allows us to understand the technical and cultural fit and deliver the absolute best match on both sides.

Professional Services

As the opportunities for professional services companies grow, blue-chip consulting, accounting, audit, and advisory firms are reinventing themselves to stay competitive in a fast-changing market dominated by digitization and automation. As more top companies streamline by focusing on their core competencies, they increasingly reach out to professional services experts to meet their additional needs. The executives that successfully lead these firms look beyond their core competencies into a broader view of their work, including building relationships and addressing business issues beyond their services.

We combine our professional services practice with best-in-class human capital expertise in critical areas such as software, AI, cybersecurity, and analytics. Using a data-driven and relationship-based approach, we help the world’s top consulting companies find diverse, future-ready CEOs, managing partners, and additional talent ready to lead and generate revenue while navigating ever-changing business conditions.
