Regina Glocker, Gale Kroeger, Amy Russo, and Vanessa de Samamé Launch Executive Search Firm
Regina Glocker, Gale Kroeger, Amy Russo, and Vanessa de Samamé have joined to launch the independent executive search firm Exchange Place Partners, LLC (“Exchange Place”) in New York City. Exchange Place presents industry expertise in Financial and Professional Services, and in corporate functions including Risk, Compliance, Legal, Finance, Human Resources, Communications, and Marketing.
100% women-owned, Exchange Place combines the decade-long search careers with the longstanding professional relationships of all four founding partners. “Call us reckless or brave to launch a new business at this stage!”, says Russo, explaining the inspiration and motivation driving Exchange Place, “But we feel strongly that sharing common perspectives about how to do business in this chaotic time is so critical to success that we had to take the leap - we know it’s going to be a difficult time but we feel that our clients want flexibility, a partnership mentality, creativity in how we work and loyalty in this downturn. We just feel better able to provide all four in a boutique with each other.”
Veterans of the search industry, team members have worked together in executive recruitment for as many as ten years. Russo and de Samamé connected at Whitehead Mann London in 1999, Kroeger joined them in New York in 2001, and Glocker, an alumna of Korn/Ferry, completed the team in 2007. All began their professional careers in financial services. Their broad experience in the search and the financial services industries provides the knowledge, intellect, and flexibility necessary to unite compatible parties sharing complementary goals.
Glocker, Kroeger, Russo, and de Samamé work with both their clients and their candidates in searches and consulting projects, advising and offering viable options for pinpointing talent and managing careers in dramatically changing markets. Track records confirm the partners’ commitment to establishing and maintaining successful client relationships. Over 90% of their business in the last four years includes firms and individuals they have worked with in the past.
Anna Peiffer has also joined the firm as an associate and in April, Exchange Place will announce the addition of two new partners to their team.
