With 35 years of expertise in career management and executive search , Shellie knows that career advice, talent acquisition, and job transitions carry significant responsibility. That’s why Shellie finds nothing more satisfying than running into clients who thank her for advice she gave them years ago which helped them reach their goals and become the professionals they are today.
While Shellie started her career as an executive search consultant, she quickly found that her candidates and clients valued her keen insights and spot-on intuition developed through years of experience. This led her to expand her capabilities, become a certified coach, and develop two new divisions along with her Executive Search practice, Career Transition Services, and Coaching.
Shellie’s deep knowledge of the healthcare industry, combined with years of experience advising the “C” level executive, give her the unique ability to create tailored programs that help executives who want to achieve the highest level of performance for themselves, their organizations and the people they serve.
