Advising Boards & CEOs on leadership appointments and risk | Executive Search & Leadership Assessment

Today marks my last day at Spencer Stuart. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make - stepping away from such a great company and such wonderful people. I can only be deeply grateful for my time with the firm. After more than eight years with two of the world’s leading executive search, leadership advisory, and organizational consulting firms, I’ve decided now is the right moment to take the first steps into my next chapter. More to come on that soon, but for now I simply want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way — you know who you are! THANK YOU. We remain friends — life is short and sweet, and it’s the people we meet who make it so interesting. I wish you all continued success, happiness, and good fortune on your journeys… and don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers every now and then! P.S. To the incredible clients, inspiring candidates, and invaluable mentors not listed — there are too many to mention, but you know who you are!
