BOSTON, MA and SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- April 2, 2019 -- BSG, a Forbes Top 50 executive search firm, announced today that it is spinning out part of its Education practice under the leadership of Todd Hand, who has headed up the practice since 2016. Hand will focus on executive search in the Education industry under the firm name of Knowledge Leaders. BSG meanwhile will continue to build on its reputation as a leading executive search partner to both private equity and venture capital firms as they build out their executive teams within and outside of the Education field.
“Todd has been an invaluable contributor to the growth and reputation of BSG,” stated Ralph Protsik, Co-founder and Managing Director of BSG. “We wish him the very best as he begins this new stage of his career, and we look forward to working closely with him and his team during his transition out of BSG and into his own company. Over the next several months Todd will continue to serve without disruption those clients whose searches with BSG began under Todd’s management, while he moves on to develop his own practice.”
“I have deep respect for Ralph, Clark, and their high caliber team. I will always value my time at BSG,” said Todd. “I also look forward to our continued collaboration,” he added. Joining him at Knowledge Leaders are search experts April Sarraille, Alison Thompson and Jennifer Florence.
