It will also enable us to continue to recruit the best talent in executive search to our rapidly growing team.”
The firm’s Chicago office currently includes three professionals that have joined the firm over the past 18 months. Gil Stenholm, Partner, has nearly 40 years of executive search and consulting experience, most notably as a Partner at Spencer Stuart for 33 years. Phil Menzel, Partner, has led the Human Resources function for multi-billion dollar businesses, including Sears Holdings, Sara Lee Corp. and Reyes Holdings.
