About Us

DRiWaterstone Human Capital is a culture-centric retained executive search firm helping nonprofit and social impact organizations build high performance teams and cultures.

We are dedicated to matching purpose-driven leaders with mission and purpose-driven roles.  We help ensure our clients have the right leaders in place – leaders who will lead in alignment with the organization’s unique values and goals, who will magnify the organization’s impacts, and who will help the business grow.

DRiWaterstone has built one of the largest networks in the country of leaders qualified for nonprofit and social impact organizations. We serve a diverse group of clients in the nonprofit, foundation, social impact enterprise, and corporate citizenship space who are looking to have a greater impact locally, nationally, and globally.

And we know that when it comes to leadership, building doesn’t stop with hiring: we offer a range of programs and tools that focus on the behaviors and practices proven to make the biggest difference to leadership, team and organizational success.

Our Commitment to DE&I
DRiWaterstone Human Capital’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) dates to its founding, and has been recognized in the latest Hunt Scanlon HR/Diversity Power 65 Rankings.

We believe that it is only through DE&I that communities can reach their full potential. It’s also an essential component for organizations that want to build a high-performance culture. That’s why we make it a priority to recruit diverse talent for every search.
