Who We Serve
Stronger Talent is the boutique executive search firm for the wellness, fitness, and sports industries. We partner with companies that make the world a stronger, healthier place. By researching and recruiting exceptional leaders, we help our clients have an even bigger impact on the world.
What Sets Us Apart
In addition to our industry focus and knowledge, here are three unique benefits of working with us:
- More personalized attention and much faster results: Consultants at other search firms often work on 10-20 searches at a time. In comparison, our Founder intentionally works on a limited number of select searches at a time. This ensures more personalized attention, much faster results, and a dramatically better experience for clients and candidates.
- Unrivaled access to top talent: We conduct extensive custom research for each search and use a variety of proven sourcing techniques to attract higher-quality candidates. We are also free of the significant “off-limits” restrictions that handcuff larger search firms.
- Complete transparency into your search: As a client, your entire hiring team receives access to a private web portal with insights and analytics on your search.

Before founding Stronger Talent, Pete worked at Heidrick & Struggles (H&S), one of the world’s premier executive search firms. As a member of the Technology, Consumer, and CEO & Board Practices at H&S, he conducted high-profile executive searches for private, public, and venture-backed companies, in addition to PE and VC firms.
Pete’s career began in the professional sports industry working for the NBA’s Washington Wizards. During his tenure with the organization, he created the team’s Sports Careers Day, an event attended by over 25,000 people since 2004. He was also the franchise’s #1 Salesperson of the Year in three consecutive seasons.
