Amidst Restructuring, Frederickson Partners Announces VP Promotions
March 30, 2018 – As part of an organizational restructuring, Frederickson Partners, a global HR executive search, consulting and outplacement firm, has announced the promotion of two longtime employees, Devin Schroeder and Rosemary Belden, to vice presidents. The firm, formerly Frederickson Pribula Li, cited the pair’s “outstanding leadership in critical HR searches” for the promotions.
As part of the changes at the Menlo Park, CA-based firm, executives Michele Li and Mathilde Pribula are departing. The new organizational structure is designed to reflect Frederickson’s shift towards greater specialization, said the firm, with an emphasis on its digital transformation practice which provides coaching to CEOs, board members, and CHROs looking to digitize their HR and people functions.
“I’m excited to focus more on our digital transformation practice and to share our knowledge with even more senior leaders building and growing world-class teams,” said Valerie Frederickson, the firm’s founder and CEO. “I deeply appreciate the long-term contributions of my former partners and look forward to watching them continue to thrive personally and professionally.”
Record Growth
Along with the organizational changes, Frederickson Partners also announced that it achieved record growth last year and the expansion of its markets. In 2017, the 23-year-old firm posted its highest revenue to-date and tripled the number of heads of HR placed since 2014.

He also worked in media relations for the Oakland Raiders professional football team. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Sonoma State University and a master’s from the University of San Francisco.
