Executive Search And Placement

Transforming Executive Search

“As the Founder and Managing Partner of Level 5 Partners, and as a leader with 20 years of experience in various human resource and talent acquisition executive roles, I have developed a strong set of principles that guide me through my personal and professional life. My success as a leader is defined by my honesty and integrity, respect for others and my commitment to excellence.

I lead by example. Achieving the most from my team is done by demonstrating in myself those qualities I hope to see in them. I believe in responsibility, accountability and mutual respect. 

At Level 5 Partners, we strive to provide our clients with talent solutions to their toughest hiring challenges.”
