The firm’s team members have an extensive track record of providing bespoke advice to organizations globally in the areas of senior executive recruitment, organizational design and succession planning, talent management, and compensation consulting.

I defined succinct search strategies and timelines tailored to each client’s specific human capital needs. I pitched AETHOS services to clients, drafted proposals, identified target peer groups, recruited and conducted candidate interviews, presented candidates to the clients, coordinated travel and accommodations, and assisted in salary negotiations. I also worked within their Compensation Consulting division, where I performed compensation studies on executive pay in both the hotel and gaming industries, published in the October 2015 issue of the Casino Journal, and analyzed the Board of Directors for various public hospitality companies to track and compare their overall performance.
