As I close out my tenure as COO – [our company] it is important that I share my gratitude to Barton Executive Search for helping build an incredible company.

​

It would be easy for me to simply capture the many different positions at multiple executive levels that you and your team have filled. While I will touch on this, what really stands out is how your partnership helped to create a cohesive, performance oriented, and culturally sound group of executives at [our company]. Barton Executive Search didn’t just fill the organization boxes, you filled it while keeping a broad lens of the entire company. You personally took the initiative and effort to truly understand our company values, culture, as well as high expectations for performance. This resulted in a collection of individuals that together was stronger than any single person.

​

This was perhaps most evident with how you helped me build out the executive team. Each person brought an incredible capability. However, the most important part was that you assembled a pool of potential talent that would all “fit” together. A fit whereby the sum of the parts was powerful. The fastest growing food company of scale for several years was the result of our partnership. For that I will be forever grateful.

​

Until we do it again, all the best.
