From operating director and vice president roles through executive- and C-level appointments, Ampersand Associates places eminently qualified professionals in positions of leadership. 

Attracting and retaining key members of the executive management team is perhaps the most challenging task facing companies of all sizes in today’s highly competitive business environment.  The addition – or lack – of industry-leading operational, marketing or executive management can make or break the success of any business enterprise, large or small. 

Ampersand Associates recognizes the critical and difficult process involved in seeking out and securing top executive talent.  We also understand that gaining access to this talent can often be a frustrating experience – draining time, energy and focus from internal management capabilities and resources. 

Ampersand Associates provides uniquely qualified expertise in the formation of operating and specialty/advisory boards of directors that enable corporate entities of virtually any size to tap into the experience and independent counsel required for optimal business performance.

Second only to a strong internal management team, board of directors and specialty/advisory boards provide invaluable independent perspective, knowledge and oversight necessary for successful business operation.  Unfortunately, the selection and ongoing operation of these critical advisory groups is all too often undertaken without the benefit of a disciplined process or clear sense of exactly how these individuals should be selected and managed.

Ampersand Associates brings unparalleled corporate contacts and proven capabilities in building these important components of sound business management.  Drawing upon seasoned expertise in executive search as well as a wealth of hands-on experience in corporate governance, the principals of Ampersand Associates are uniquely positioned to guide your enterprise through the murky waters of board selection and development.

Whether a newly-formed venture seeking to expand it’s stable of respected advisors or an established corporation looking to add subject matter expertise to ongoing operations, Ampersand Associates fills the growing need for a reliable, comprehensive and professionally structured approach to this critical aspect of corporate development and growth.

Through the professional development of up-and-coming women executives, Ampersand Associates helps corporations of all sizes leverage one of the most underutilized of all business resources – today’s highly talented female professional. 

The challenges facing today’s business executives are difficult enough when all resources are put to optimum use and the entire entity is operating on all cylinders.  These challenges become even more daunting, however, when promising resources are either overlooked or under-realized, as can sometimes be the case with women executive talent.

While equal opportunity has long been the law of the land and glass ceilings are being broken through on a regular basis by an ever-increasing pool of unarguably talented women professionals, today’s woman executive needs more than a quality education    and strong resume to succeed.  Many of these women – and the corporations that hire them – are finding that these women and their employers alike b enefit greatly from professional growth and leadership training.

Ampersand Associates leverages the firm’s expertise in placing senior-level executives with corporations and on their respective boards by extending these capabilities into specialized services for women executives.  Through the firm’s active involvement in the Women’s Leadership Exchange and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, Ampersand Associates helps grow          and expand the role of women executives throughout the organization.
