BoardWalk Consulting

About Us

At BoardWalk Consulting, finding leaders that matter for missions that matter® is not just our tagline, it is our very reason for being.

A national firm specializing in CEO recruitment, we have been privileged to work with boards and senior leaders of an eclectic array of foundations and nonprofits in every region of the country. Many of our clients are national or even global in scope; others may focus on a specific community, issue or constituency. All deserve first-rate leaders who can build on past successes and lead their organizations to even greater impact.

Our commitment to excellence is supported by a tenacious process that combines the reach of monolithic firms with the intimacy and adaptability of a boutique. Each of our clients is unique, but our approach is consistent, delivering professionally and demographically diverse slates from which compelling contenders evolve, committed to the impact our clients’ missions deserve.

Like our clients, we draw strength from our mission—elevating impact through leadership—and we know both the promise and the pitfalls of recruiting a new leader. Whether your organization’s transition is planned or sudden, we have the people, the passion, the process, and the persistence to ensure a successful outcome.
