About
The person behind the search.
I bring more than 15 years of recruiting experience to the work I do at Terrace Vanguard, from running individual searches to leading a recruiting function.
Today, I work directly with businesses and nonprofits through Executive Search and Fractional Recruiting. You work with me from the first conversation through the hiring process.
Discuss Your Hiring NeedsMy background
Hands-on recruiting.
Experience leading the function.
I spent much of my career doing the work myself: researching companies, building candidate lists, reaching out, evaluating people, and moving searches through to hire. Along the way, I developed the intake, research, and tracking practices I used to run my search desk.
That work led to a Vice President role overseeing recruiting operations. I trained researchers, managed recruiters, and took responsibility for the systems and metrics behind the team's work. I continued to run my own searches while leading the function.
Both experiences inform how I work today. I understand the individual search and the demands on the people responsible for hiring: competing priorities, limited recruiting capacity, and the need to know what is happening in the market.
Working with me
Close to the work.
Clear about what it takes.
At Terrace Vanguard, I stay directly involved in the recruiting work we agree on. That may be a leadership appointment, a specialized professional hire, or support across several roles. We define the responsibilities at the start so you know what I am handling and what your team needs to cover.
I look at the work a person will need to do, then evaluate the experience that prepares them to do it. A title alone does not establish readiness. The details of a candidate's responsibilities, decisions, and results matter.

When I'll say no
I also tell you what the search is showing us. If compensation, location, or the requirements are limiting the pool, we discuss it while there is time to respond. If I cannot reach the right market or give the work the attention it needs, I will say so.
