What do you think differentiates The Alexander Group from other executive search firms?

For 40 years, we have developed strong relationships with our clients based on trust, integrity and transparency. We have a strong understanding of our clients’ organizations and cultures and conduct thorough and comprehensive searches with outstanding results.

What’s the highest compliment a client can give you?

That there is no other search firm they would choose or recommend than our firm, and I’m grateful that more than 85 percent of my clients do year-over-year.
