Adam-Bryce Expands Technology Expertise

May 31, 2017 – Raleigh, NC-based executive search firm Adam-Bryce has expanded its C-level recruitment services with the addition of Mary Ott Price as a new partner. Given her background in recruiting chief information, technology, security officers and their leadership teams, Ms. Price deepens the group’s already potent talent lineup.

Ms. Price began her executive search career in New York at Russell Reynolds Associates. There, she was the co-leader of the information technology officers practice and recruited across all verticals including financial services, retail, healthcare, industrial and e-commerce. She also created and led the firm’s financial technology practice. Prior to executive search firm, she spent more than 20 years as a technology executive at IBM. She led a spin-off of a home networking technology company from IBM with investments from IBM, Cisco and Motorola. She also served as CEO of several early-stage technology companies, with experience across a range of technologies, including networking, cloud services, IOT, security, big data and enterprise software.

“Mary brings more than 10 years of executive search experience, and we decided to merge our businesses to build a comprehensive technology-focused practice in the Triangle,” said Nadine Rubin, founder and managing partner of Adam-Bryce. “This is a great time to launch this comprehensive technology practice for C-level executives and their teams. North Carolina has a vibrant ecosystem of technology and financial services companies.”

Ms. Price said the Research Triangle Park region has a tremendous talent pool and world-class research universities, and Charlotte has established itself as a national financial services hub. “Our firm’s focus is national and many clients are global companies, but North Carolina’s growing technology and financial services sectors are a strong foundation and catalyst for growth,” she said.

Ms. Rubin founded Adam-Bryce as an executive search firm with a focus on management consulting and advisory in emerging technologies, including cloud, digital, machine learning, data science, AI, IOT and big data analytics. She and her team have developed deep expertise in providing the market with executive leaders who develop and deliver these offerings.

Surging Technology Sector

The booming technology sector, vibrant even when the economy was softer, shows little sign of retreat, according to a host of recruiters who service companies across the field. It continues, in fact, to produce capabilities and services that few imagined just a decade ago. In response, a number of search firms have expanded their technology practices. Here is a look at a few from the Hunt Scanlon Media archives:

Penrhyn International launched a new global technology, media & telecoms practice group, led by Yanouk Poirier, managing partner of Montreal-based search firm Leaders International. It brings together search consultants who specialize in the technology, media & telecoms space throughout Canada, the U.S., the U.K., France, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and UAE.

He guides Kennedy’s executive search operations around IT leadership roles across North America and Europe.

He previously built the technology practice for the Americas region at Allegis Partners.
