Co-President Matt Mooney notes “2022 represented a major period of expansion and growth for ON Partners, with demand for C-level and board executives across several sectors including life sciencesconsumersustainability and clean tech, and private equity. The executive shifts we’re making illustrate our commitment to building the most innovated and disruptive pure-play retained executive search firm in the industry.”

“After a strong 2022, we’ve built momentum going into the new year and the new leadership team has already been hard at work,” said Co-President Tim Conti. “We’re excited about expanding our work into growth markets and continuing to deliver a premiere executive search experience for our ON community, and we’ve never been better positioned to do that.”

“ON Partners’ recognition with Forbes list proves that not only are we delivering in our commitment towards innovation and impact, but that our work is being acknowledged within the industry amongst our influential executive peers,” said Tim Conti, Co-President of ON Partners.  “ON Partners continues to rise in this ranking each year and prioritize our efforts towards the overall executive search experience, which is why we’ve consistently received a 4.9 out of 5.0-star experience rating from clients and executive placements over the last two years.”
