Anthem Executive

About Us

Anthem Executive was formed in order to offer a new and exciting search perspective to our clients. Continuing a mulit-decade tradition of our founders’ service to clients across a cadre of business sectors, including higher education, health sciences, corporate and non-profit institutions, global software and technology, private equity, insurance, service and manufacturing, oil and gas, and others, the formalization of Anthem Executive was both timely and appropriate in order to better meet the needs of our clients.

The team we bring consists of consultants with a combined 80 years experience in the search industry. This means of course that there is not much that surprises us… but there’s an awful lot that excites us about the search industry.

Our Higher Education Practice successes span the entire leadership spectrum in higher education. Multiple Chancellor engagements in complex environments that include academic medicine components. President searches for well established, emerging and struggling institutions. Provosts, Deans, and Department Chairs too. Plus, the compendium of executive administration roles at both system and institution levels. We have led multiple national searches at the Chancellor, President, VP, Provost and Dean levels on behalf of some of the nation’s largest and most successful university and community college systems. A columnist, who has written about academic affairs and executive search for The Chronicle of Higher Education for over 20 years, calls  us “the most effective search firm in higher education search today.”

Outside of higher education, our successes span the entire leadership spectrum from CEO and other C-Suite leaders, Board Directors, VP and Director, and others.  Areas of expertise include IT, Marketing, Finance, Regulatory and Compliance, Human Resources, Sales, Operations, Security, Environmental Health and Safety, Construction, and more.

If a client has need, we are qualified and ready to meet it through our full spectrum of services.

At Anthem Executive, we take a team approach to our searches.  You do not just get a primary search consultant or two assigned to your search, you get the benefit of our entire team of executive search professionals at your service who serve in the background to ensure that your search receives the attention it deserves.

We approach this issue differently. Think of your search as an international commercial flight. The reason that there are at least two and on some transoceanic flights, four flight officers is to ensure safety and continuity throughout the journey. Any one of these aviators can fly the aircraft and land it safely. So too with our team. Once your search journey is underway, there will always be two, and more often than not, three in the cockpit. That will ensure a safe trip with minimal turbulence that gets the you to the destination smoothly and on time.

Additionally, we will not change the team as some firms do. We are all there from takeoff to landing.
