Building Leadership Teams That Last

With over 25 years of experience in agency and corporate recruitment, I’ve built a career on finding and placing the kind of talent that moves businesses forward. I joined Edelman Public Relations in 1998 and quickly got to work transforming how the firm approached hiring — building trusted internal recruitment systems, reducing dependency on external search firms, and creating a culture that valued relationships over transactions.

What started as a role overseeing recruitment for just two offices soon became a national leadership position covering 60% of the firm’s business. Most recently, I served as Edelman’s Global Managing Director of Executive Recruitment, Search, and Succession. In that role, I led global searches, built succession and talent mapping frameworks, and prioritized inclusive hiring practices that brought fresh, diverse leadership into the company. Whether sourcing C-suite talent or mentoring new recruiters, I focused on strategic, high-touch search built on trust, insight, and long-term fit.

Now, as the founder of JBR Executive Search & Succession, I bring that same approach to a broader set of clients — helping organizations find leaders who not only meet the brief but raise the bar. I love what I do, and I’d love the chance to partner with your firm next.
