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.

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.

The result: leaders who are more aligned and productive sooner, perform better year over year, and are far less likely to leave.
