Executive
Search
Executive hiring isn’t a volume game – it’s a precision strike.
At Summit, every search begins with a deep calibration process: aligning stakeholders, clarifying role expectations, and mapping the market before a single candidate is approached. That’s why the leaders we place don’t just fill a seat – they transform teams, accelerate revenue, and restore momentum.
We focus on senior executives, board members, and C-Suite leaders for SaaS, software, and PE-backed companies. Clients bring us in when other firms have failed or when the stakes are too high to risk a misfire.
Leadership
Development
Our broad portfolio of executive advisory services pushes companies to greatness, whether through 1:1 executive coaching or enterprise-wide leadership development training.
Summit Executive Search Group possesses a unique and proven ability to help your organization create a scalable culture of leadership. There actually is a silver bullet in business – it’s called great leadership.
What Our Clients Say
“After months with other recruiters, Summit delivered four finalists in just three weeks. Each one was a top-tier hire. Years later, all of them are still here – and consistently rank in the top 5% of the company.”
EVP Sales | Multi-Billion-Dollar SaaS Company
“Our internal team is strong, but for high-value hires with measurable ROI, Summit beats them by far. Their short list of high-quality candidates made the searches faster, less expensive, and far more effective.”
Edward E., President | SaaS Company at FIS Global
“Other recruiting sources failed, but Summit provided more high-quality candidates than any other group we worked with. Today, significant portions of our finance leadership team are Summit placements.”
Kevin B., VP Controller/CFO | Public Software Company ($14M → $1B growth)
“All of our hires from Summit (100+ to date) have exceeded quota and delivered tremendous ROI. Summit Executive Search is a great resource for finding great leadership and salespeople.”
CCH, a Wolters Kluwer Business
“The individuals Summit placed immediately went to the top of their sales class. Results are what count - and they delivered on all fronts.”
SVP Sales – Multi-Billion-Dollar Services Company
“Ken really knows his business. High integrity, efficiency, and personalized service. We’ll continue to use Summit for future key hires.”
Managing Director – Nationwide Investment Banking & PE Firm
With more than 25 years in executive search, Ken has led over 800 successful placements across SaaS, software, and PE-backed companies. His track record is unmatched: a 100% completion rate on every retained search and 97% of Summit’s placements still in seat beyond five years. Clients trust Ken because he doesn’t send resumes – he delivers leaders who change the trajectory of their business.
Ken has become the go-to partner when stakes are high, timelines are tight, and failure isn’t an option. Whether it’s building a leadership bench post-merger, confidentially replacing an underperforming CEO, securing a board-ready CFO, or rescuing a failed search, he brings the grit and follow-through that make his clients look brilliant in the boardroom.
In addition to running searches, Ken brings the same intensity to coaching company leaders and advising boards of directors. His guidance has helped companies grow exponentially – in some cases, more than 100x – while aligning their culture and strategy around great leadership.
