Biography
Jeff is a seasoned executive search leader with deep expertise in building and strengthening human resources functions that directly enable business success. Over the course of his career, he has partnered with organizations at critical inflection points from high-growth companies seeking their first HR leader to complex, global enterprises evolving their talent strategy and operating model.
With nearly a decade at The Christopher Group and key roles at global and boutique search firms, Jeff has developed a reputation for his ability to understand both the strategic and cultural dimensions of an organization. He partners closely with CEOs and CHROs to identify and attract HR leaders who not only deliver functional excellence but also drive transformation, engagement, and long-term value creation.
Jeff’s approach is grounded in the belief that business outcomes are inseparable from people outcomes. He has helped clients successfully navigate leadership transitions, organizational scaling, M&A integration, and shifting workforce expectations. His placements span industries and ownership models including public companies, PE-backed firms, and non-profits across both domestic and global markets.
Based in Kansas City, Jeff values time with his wife and two children. Beyond his professional work, he enjoys traveling, playing golf, and bringing creativity into the kitchen, often inspired by his love of food and cooking shows.
