New Office

The Barton Partnership appointed Tara Ricks as its executive chair. “Securing Tara as executive chair is a coup for the company,” said Nicholas Barton, founder. “Her track record, extensive experience, and industry credentials speak for themselves, and I have no doubt she will add tremendous value to our growth plans. I am excited to be working with her and look forward to this next chapter.” Ms. Ricks brings over 25 years of recruitment industry experience, possessing a proven track record of creating shareholder value through strategic growth, driving international expansion, and M&A.
