Eastward Partners Inc.

When I launched Eastward Partners, my goal was to attract the best caliber of clients and candidates in my niche. I vowed to take a unique approach, one that was data-intensive and backed by the integrity of our sourced data. And if executed properly, other Search Consultants and operators would want to join the journey Today, I am thrilled to announce Eastward’s first acquisition of the esteemed retained Private Equity search firm, Press & Associates This strategic move not only strengthens our position in the market but also opens new avenues for growth and opportunity for all of us.   Paul Press, founder and CEO, is truly exceptional; relentless in his dedication to delivering extraordinary service to his clients is unparalleled. As I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Paul over the past several months, what has stood out to me is his deep alignment with our core values. His commitment to being a true 'partner in search', both within the firm and to his clients, resonates strongly with our ethos and will undoubtedly strengthen our collective mission.   Paul will be joining us as an equity Partner, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a proven track record. Together with his team, he will continue to provide unwavering support to mid-to-large cap Private Equity firms on all aspects of Value Creation as well as continuing to expand his capabilities in the Technology function covering the entire suite of products. We are confident that under his leadership, we will reach new heights of success. #WeAreEastward

Have you ever met a leader and just knew they had something a cut above the rest? When I first met the Eastward team and Joe Carbone, I knew his company had something special. Getting to know the team over the last year, through working together as a client of KLES, affirmed what it is about them that makes it real. They aren’t just an innovative executive search firm that's truly revolutionizing the industry through their data-driven approach…. I believe they are the ones who will lead the way executive search is conducted. Additionally, our mission and passions align perfectly. I have been on a path for years to help make the intangible aspects of a deal tangible through the focus on talent and technology. Many have heard me say, I aim to change the way investors view investing, and to prioritize thinking about People during a transaction. Eastward Partners' commitment to putting the human element back into human capital, combined with their proprietary ECHO® platform that leverages real-time analytics, does just that - and it truly sets them apart in the market. With that said, I'm thrilled to announce my appointment to the Board of Directors at Eastward Partners Inc. I look forward to working alongside Joe and the exceptional leadership team as we continue to drive growth and innovation in talent acquisition, particularly in private equity and professional services sectors. I'm super eager and excited to contribute to the firm's mission of delivering sophisticated solutions to complex talent challenges. Thank you to Joe and the Eastward Partners team for this opportunity! #ExecutiveSearch #Leadership #BoardAppointment #TalentAcquisition #PrivateEquity
