NorthWind Search Partners

overview

NorthWind Search Partners was founded by experienced professionals with a long track record of success in executive search. NorthWind is a unique, performance-driven, retained search boutique specializing in executive search, typically at the Vice President to CxO level, with technology and service providers surrounding Federal Government including the Civilian, Defense, and Intelligence arenas.

NorthWind's Principals are committed to directly conducting all searches while the majority of executive search firms often rely solely on databases, research/recruiting associates, or the Internet to perform the bulk of the project and deliver final candidates. Drastically outpacing the industry average, our success rate on retained assignments is nearly 100%.

The team at NorthWind has more than twenty-five years of experience working with technology-focused companies across industries. Each Principal has more than a decade of experience strategizing with leadership teams and courting business leaders. Clients range from venture-funded technology plays to Fortune-ranked tier-one integrators. It is our mission to quickly grasp the strategic goals and needs of client companies and to thoroughly evaluate the capabilities of internal management. We can then recommend an appropriate internal candidate or recruit external talent to enhance or execute the strategy which will help the company achieve its goals.

Our team has successfully completed hundreds of senior search assignments for our clients. We have had the opportunity to learn from the successes and failures of hundreds of companies. Our clients receive the benefit of this experience. With the performance of client companies as our benchmark for success, our priority is not to “fill a role”, but to identify and court individuals who will help the business dominate its respective market and strategically enter new markets.
