Penfold Associates was created in 2014 by Bart Penfold, a successful three-time CEO with over ten years of search and executive coaching experience, to answer an unmet need in the marketplace. He believed that executive search placements would have greater, longer, and more positive impact if the person conducting the search fully understood the strategic direction of the company doing the searching. Since then, Penfold Associates has placed more than 200 game-changing executives in over 300 organizations, including 15 full-team lift-outs of anywhere from four to twenty people. With an average completion rate of just 38 days and a commitment to complete every search, Penfold Associates has become one of the most competitive firms nationally. Penfold Associates offers a range of services, including Executive Search, Proactive Talent Management™ (PTM), Leadership Development and Team Lift-Outs. The Penfold Associates team prides itself in investing into the "long-view": by working in close partnership with our clients and candidates over time, we understand the strategy and goals of each. Penfold Associates is a national firm specializing in Financial Services, Health Care, Closely- or Privately- Held Growth Companies, and Higher Education.
