Since launching in 2005, NorthWind Partners has provided top-performing companies with high-caliber executive hires in the U.S. and abroad in the private equity, business services, health care, technology, aviation, aerospace, defense and industrial sectors. Today, the firm has six locations/partnerships worldwide, with most of its workforce spread between Music City and Washington, D.C.
NorthWind embodies a boutique, entrepreneurial approach to finding and selecting the right board member or business leader for a position. The firm prides itself on a predictable, repeatable, partner-led process and a transparent platform that allows clients unmitigated, real-time access to research on any project.
This strategy ensures the client can be involved in every step of the interview and decision-making process. Additionally, NorthWind conducts discreet referencing on all candidates prior to consideration to avoid an unnecessary expenditure of time or energy by clients with executives who “interview well.” These unique features have garnered the firm an unparalleled 99 percent placement rate and allowed clients to work seamlessly with NorthWind throughout the hiring journey.
“Over the past decade, NorthWind has successfully completed hundreds of assignments across multiple industries,” said Mark HuYoung, managing partner. “It’s given us an opportunity to learn from the successes and failures of a myriad of companies. We are singularly focused on ensuring that this experience, coupled with highly effective research, analysis and evaluative tools, results in a successful outcome for clients.”
