President & CEO
Some firms considered a recent search we had to be a “simple” one, coming to me with a predetermined list of candidates because they were so sure they knew what I needed before we even started. FitzDrake took the time to consider the complexities of our organization and the unique needs we had to reposition the function in a new way and diligently worked to find the candidate who met our precise needs.
D.C. based financial services firm
