Q: What is the story behind Executive Search Partners, how did you start?

A: I started a very successful IT Services Company in Michigan called Great Lakes Technologies Group in 1996. We were named Best Place to Work in Detroit 4 years in a row. We won Ernst and Young’s Entrpreneur of the Year Award in 2002. We sold the company in late 2002 except for the search part of the business. I kept that and named the search company, Executive Search Partners. As we grew I added other CIO’s as Partners.

We have done searches for clients in over 25 states and 4 countries. We have been recognized for the quality of our search work several times. Forbes Magazine recognized us as one of the Top Executive Search Companies in North America for 2017.
