Faculty & Executive Search Consulting

Partnering with colleges and universities to identify, recruit, and onboard the leaders of tomorrow.

What I Do

I work directly with search committees, boards, and institutional leaders to strengthen the hiring process for faculty, administrative, and executive roles. My approach combines practical experience as a professor and federal leader with proven methods for running fair, efficient, and mission-driven searches.

Services for Institutions

• Search Committee Consulting – advising committees on process design, timeline management, evaluation rubrics, and interview strategy.

• Candidate Outreach & Screening – supporting outreach strategies to broaden applicant pools and advising on fair, consistent screening methods.

• Neutral Facilitation – serving as a trusted third party to guide difficult discussions, mediate differences, and keep the search moving forward.

• Onboarding & Transition Support – helping institutions and appointees build long-term success through structured onboarding plans.

Services for Candidates

Alongside institutional work, I also prepare candidates navigating faculty and executive searches with:

• CV and cover-letter development tailored to leadership roles.

• Mock interviews and presentation coaching.

• Salary and contract negotiation strategies.

Why Work With Me

• Firsthand experience: I’ve served as a faculty member, department leader, and federal chief managing multimillion-dollar operations.

• Dual perspective: I understand both sides of the hiring process — what committees need and how candidates succeed.

• Tailored engagements: Every search is different. I adapt my support to your institution’s mission, culture, and desired leadership profile.

Let’s Talk

Whether you’re a search committee chair seeking process guidance or a candidate preparing for your next role, I can help ensure a smooth, transparent, and effective search.
