“Laura is a consummate professional with the ability to synthesize her experience in the CPG industry and recruiting for win/win results. I have worked with Laura on both sides of the desk and the common theme has been her passion, listening and perseverance to bring like minded candidates and organizations together to win. Her non-cookie cutter approach to recruiting in addition to that “extra mile” Laura undertakes, truly separates her from others in the business. I would recommend Laura without hesitation.”

I had the very good fortune to partner with Laura on a number of Marketing and Sales searches within the CPG industry for which my firm was recruiting. I found Laura to be very knowledgeable of the industry, marketplace and industry players. Equally critical was her demonstrated ability to understand the culture of our organization and the dynamics of our people to ensure a strong fit between our business needs and the selected clients she put forth. As a true business partner, Laura was an active advocate for our firm in the marketplace, worked diligently for the candidates she represented, and was motivated by achieving successful long term relationships between client and candidate. In short, Laura is a wonderfully personable, professional and talented search consultant who goes the extra mile for both client and candidate to secure a successful placement. I viewed Laura as an extension of my team and look forward to the opportunity to work with her once again in the future.
Laura has an incredible ability to source/find candidates, who are both well qualified and a superb match from the perspective of organizational fit. She is professional, thoughtful, and can read a candidate exceptionally well. Her services are worth every penny, and I hope to work with her for many years to come.
