Who We Are
Our team reflects a group of women who share a strong alignment to our values and dual mission, a common passion about equity and justice, and who have dedicated their careers to social impact work.
We are daughters, sisters, partners, travelers, foodies, readers and writers, feminists and caretakers who reside on the East and West Coasts and across the South and Mid-Atlantic.
As professionals, we bring deep expertise and decades of experience in recruitment and executive search. We have a range of nonprofit career experiences spanning from people and talent strategy to teaching, coaching, development, communications, operations and program work. We understand the experience, culture, language and pressures of mission-driven work.
