ABOUT KAREN SHNEK LIPPMAN
Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search is a retained executive search firm founded by Karen Shnek Lippman -- a hands-on, highly-strategic recruiter and talent acquisition leader whose professional career spans both recruiting and strategic communications (PR).
Karen prides herself on presenting her clients -- ranging from SVPs and CEOs at Fortune 200 companies to privately-held SMB co-founders -- with multiple highly-qualified and thoroughly-interviewed candidates -- not just 1-2 -- within weeks of beginning a search.
All of the candidates Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search interviews and presents to her client companies are "discovered," meaning, she finds candidates through targeted, proactive search -- not job postings.

Karen understands how org charts are architected and compensation is benchmarked -- across companies within the same industry as well as their industry "ecosystem" writ large.
What really sets Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search apart from the competition is her high-level, consultative approach. She has been advising and working directly with the C-Suite since her third PR job. She brings a unique, data-informed perspective about recruitment, hiring and talent acquisition, having worked at both retained search firms and internally, as part of a Fortune 20's corporate talent acquisition team.
Most important, she knows how to evaluate and assess talent -- especially "passive," specialized and multi-hyphenate talent.
Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search doesn't recruit or review an executive by job title or company brand/employer name. She is highly adept at assessing leadership talent by getting to know the executive's entire career history. She excels at interviewing business leaders from "non-linear" or "ambiguous" career paths -- executives who have often held leadership or management roles in traditional job functions and possess highly technical and non-traditional skills, across industries.
The type of business leaders Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search identifies drive innovation, solve business challenges -- whether that's product development/innovation, lowering churn, implementing a new ERP or technology globally, driving revenue growth from new partnerships, creating new experiences, or protecting a company's reputation.
Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search knows how to communicate effectively with all company stakeholders and navigate events like leadership transitions and M&A.
The ability to guide all company stakeholders, including investors and board members, through successful hire -- that's a skill. An art.
Last but not least, Karen Shnek Lippman Executive Search operates with a high level of integrity.
Karen treats her candidates, not just the CEO and hiring team, like "valued customers," delivering strong professional communications throughout the entire search process.
