About us
Experienced search. A personal commitment.
Founded by Mark Rowbottom in 1988, our firm is built on direct conversations, honest counsel and relationships that last. We work with owners, boards and executives across Wisconsin and beyond on leadership decisions that matter to the business.
When you work with us, you get experienced market judgment, a credible introduction to the right people and direct access to the partner doing the work. We challenge assumptions when the facts call for it and stay involved throughout the search.

The working relationship
The person winning the mandate is the person doing the work. We stay close to the brief, the market and the decision.
A trusted search partner does more than agree. We test assumptions, share what the market is saying and adjust the strategy when needed.
Decades of relationships provide context beyond a database: who has delivered, where experience translates and which introduction can open a conversation.
Credentials matter, but leaders join real teams and real cultures. Experience, leadership style and fit are assessed together.
