Beecher Reagan has helped build the leadership teams of many of the most recognizable firms on the planet.
In 2009, Clark Beecher and Tim Reagan joined forces to combine their executive search experience and launch a new retained executive search firm: Beecher Reagan Advisors. In an industry defined by generalists, Beecher Reagan chose to narrowly focus on the professional services and consulting space. Over the years, our team has played an instrumental role in helping to build some of the most recognizable and fastest-growing firms on the planet.
While our team has grown, our approach remains the same. We are known for our deep market expertise in professional services and for our ability to help firms connect their business strategy to the leadership capabilities needed to execute it. With the continued rise of private equity, today, roughly 70% of our clients are investor-backed business services and technology services firms, and we partner with numerous private equity funds to accelerate value creation at the fund and operating level.
We hold true to our belief that career changes are a deeply human experience. At the center of our work is the relationships we develop with clients and candidates, and the desire to impact people and organizations for decades to come.
Beecher Reagan is a team of premier search experts and former management consultants who bring more than 100 years of combined experience to our client relationships.
The firm provides companies with unrivaled access to talent and a commitment to strategic partnership that enhances their business.
Its passion for creating powerful connections is behind every client relationship and candidate placement. They place the right people in the right roles to support step-change growth for our clients. The firm gives candidates the opportunity to make an impact, pursue their ambitions, and advance their careers.

Beecher Reagan is a retained executive search firm focused exclusively on leadership talent for high-growth professional services and private equity firms — across consulting, business services, and technology & software services. We act as a strategic partner and trusted advisor to both clients and candidates, giving everyone the advice and support they need to make decisions that propel growth. Every search is Partner-led and human-led but AI-informed, drawing on decades of relationships and data to architect a unique market for each engagement. With 1,500+ executives placed since 2009, we’re here to help you make the right connection — whether you’re hiring the leaders who will define your future or building your own career.
The Verity Leadership Assessment℠
Verity is Beecher Reagan’s proprietary psychometric assessment, offered in partnership with Kinavic Leadership Acceleration and powered by Hogan. It is the only assessment of its kind designed specifically for the professional services and private equity space — built on decades of historical data about what drives success in transformational leadership. Verity delivers empirical, benchmarked insight into the invisible strengths and gaps of executives, helping firms assess fit to role and firm, mitigate risk, and identify the tactics that accelerate a leader’s path to performance.
Leadership Performance Acceleration
Through our partnership with Kinavic Leadership Acceleration, we help clients realize the full potential of their leaders, faster. Pairing Verity’s insights with ongoing performance coaching, we support new executives — and the teams around them — through integration and acceleration, decreasing ramp time to commercial viability and increasing engagement. The result: leaders who are more aligned and productive sooner, perform better year over year, and are far less likely to leave.
