Led by CEO and founder Daniel Logan, the firm has built a solid platform of executive search experience in more than 30 states and 100 organizations.

Mr. Logan established the firm in 2010 while still serving as chief operating officer and partner of the PACE Group, a retained executive search firm with offices in Chicago, Mississippi and Texas. During his eight years with the PACE Group he conducted searches in healthcare, economic development, chamber of commerce, not-for-profit, government and various private sectors. Mr. Logan has a varied background with previous positions in manufacturing, politics, economic development and government.

“We know that finding the right talent is a key factor in organizational success,” said Mr. Swoope. “Working with Daniel will allow VisionFirst to provide our clients with a robust suite of services to find, hire, develop and retain the best leaders for their organizations and companies. We see this as another opportunity to provide a customized solution to our clients’ needs.”

“We are thrilled to partner with VisionFirst Advisors,” said Mr. Logan. “Their team of economic development professionals is one of the most respected in the country. This partnership will add a tremendous amount of value to our talent acquisition and executive search practices across a number of industries.
