Navigate career transitions with confidence. Strategic guidance from a veteran executive search consultant with 28+ years of experience and 500+ successful placements.
Many senior leaders struggle with these common pain points during career transitions.
Navigating the next step in your executive journey can feel overwhelming, especially when you're unsure which direction aligns with your long-term goals.
Over 70% of executive positions are never publicly advertised. Without the right connections, you're missing opportunities that perfectly match your expertise.
Your digital presence and personal brand may not effectively communicate your true value proposition to potential employers and partners.
Many executives leave significant compensation on the table due to ineffective negotiation strategies and incomplete market knowledge.
With 28 years in executive search and placement, I've guided over 500 senior leaders through successful career transitions across technology, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors.
My approach combines deep industry knowledge with personalized strategies to help you navigate the complex executive job market with confidence and clarity.

Answers to common questions about the executive transition process.
Yes, all sessions are recorded and shared with you afterward. This allows you to revisit our discussion without having to take notes during our time together. The recording is for your personal use only and will not be shared with anyone else.
I take confidentiality extremely seriously. Our discussions remain strictly private, and I never share client information without explicit permission. Many of my clients are exploring opportunities while still employed, and I understand the sensitivity of these situations. All digital files are encrypted and securely stored.
Due to the limited availability of session slots, I have a strict 48-hour cancellation policy. If you need to reschedule, please do so at least 48 hours in advance. For cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice, the full fee is non-refundable. However, I understand emergencies happen, and I'll do my best to accommodate you in exceptional circumstances.
To maintain the quality of my service, I limit my availability to a maximum of 3 hours of client sessions per day, with a 90-minute lunch break. This ensures I'm fully present and energized for each client. I typically work with 15-20 active clients at any given time, which allows me to provide personalized attention to each person's unique situation.
The 60-minute session includes 7 days of priority email follow-up for quick questions. For more comprehensive ongoing support, many clients book additional sessions as needed or join the waitlist for my monthly retainer service. I'm developing additional support options, including a group program and VIP day, which will be available soon.
After booking, you'll receive a pre-call assessment form to complete at least 24 hours before our session. This helps me understand your background, goals, and challenges in advance. I also recommend having your current resume and LinkedIn profile handy, as we may reference them during our discussion. Come prepared with specific questions or areas you'd like to focus on to maximize our time together.
