Summit Executive Resources

For over ten years, Summit Executive Resources has been disrupting the retained executive search industry — and improving how C-level executives advance their careers or access to board directorship opportunities.

Unlike traditional search, they represent the executive — much like the way a sports agent represents a star athlete. Their model works by connecting our clients with the hiring companies, boards of directors, and private equity and venture capital firms that need their leadership.

I have developed the needed skills to help company owners and CEOs over several decades as a C-suite operator and financier of dozens of companies. I started (or bought), built and sold two companies. I managed four venture capital firms (founded two of them) with combined capital under management exceeding $500 million. I successfully managed nine companies through periods of disruption in their growth. I have been a highly influential director of 26 for-profits (private and public) and non-profit organizations.
