Laurel Group
The Laurel Group was launched in 2002 as an alternative to the way executive search has been done for the last 50 years. To us, it’s about talent management, not just search. We spend every day meeting, understanding, developing, and assessing executive talent before there is a need. Understanding who they are, what they are good at, and where they want to go in their careers. The results are simple – we deliver top executive talent to our clients.
Headquartered in Seattle, Washington with a presence in Silicon Valley, the Laurel Group was founded by a team of industry veterans who have a proven track record in retained executive search focused on building executive teams for technology-enabled companies across multiple verticals.
