Leadership Group Executive Search

Leadership Group Executive Search is an executive search firm in Charleston, SC. The firm operates as a nationwide retained executive search and leadership consulting practice with offices in Silicon Valley, New York, San Ramon, CA, and Charleston, SC. Established in 1992, it functions as a boutique firm specialized in recruiting executives for industry-leading companies. The firm focuses on specific industries where its partners hold in-depth experience, allowing them to deliver qualified candidates quickly.

The firm differentiates itself by limiting concurrent searches to ensure focused attention on each client's needs. Its partners are former CEOs and executives with extensive operational and leadership experience, which provides the credibility to analyze potential candidates and understand client requirements. Search executives conduct their own research and sourcing of candidates. To ensure calibration, partners interview initial screened candidates with the client simultaneously, verifying that their interpretation of a strong candidate matches the client's view. This approach has supported a completion success rate of nearly 100% for over a decade. The team includes Managing Partners Richard Henley and Carolyn Carpeneti, Partner Lindsay Lautz, and Associates Barbara Madden and Rebecca Horvitz, alongside Executive Assistant Audrey Pratt and Matthew J. Hogan. The firm is organized into distinct practices that focus on targeted industries, enabling partners to apply their industry, executive, and search experience to specific roles.

The Charleston location is situated near Ackerman Park, about 0.1 miles away. It is located 0.2 miles from the Saint Andrews Post Office and 0.3 miles from Saint Andrews Boulevard. Savannah Highway is 0.4 miles from the office, as is the public artwork known as the Coburg Cow. Health First, a local clinic, is approximately 0.5 miles away.

The firm’s standing is defined by its long history of service and its high completion success rate, which reflects the effectiveness of its boutique model and the executive experience of its partners.
