Advancing Great Leadership

  • Executive Search
  • Talent Development
  • Leadership Coaching
  • Interim Placement

In 1988, Bryant Group founder, Chris Bryant, started one of the country’s first search firms specializing in philanthropy recruitment. Now under the leadership of CEO and President Sally Bryant, the woman-owned firm has a 34-year history of recruiting, developing and coaching great leaders. 

Bryant Group is committed to an ongoing, proactive process to foster and achieve diversity and inclusion in our executive search and talent development work. Identifying candidates from underrepresented groups has been an integral part of our recruitment process since our founder began this work in 1988. To that end, our targeted list of potential candidates is intentionally diverse. Throughout our history, this focus has resulted in underrepresented professionals being placed in positions at all levels, including at the Vice President and CEO levels. 

Our commitment to our clients’ best interests and our respect of every candidate as a professional and as a human being continues to result in the best outcome for all involved. Bryant Group has impacted more than 10,000 leaders and served more than 275 organizations.
