When I pivoted to Executive Search ( Lucas Group) in 2017 with 39 years of Fashion Industry experience , mostly leading Design and Merchandising Teams, and as a Fashion Director- I THOUGHT I had worked with some of the TOUGHEST women on the planet...But then I met Cindy Richards

At first, I have to admit it wasn't easy for me to wrap my head around the " split" concept of a search...It basically means that for ANYONE that touches any part of a search , they get a piece of the commission .

For some strange reason, Cindy and I were working on the same search (something in the CPG Space) Something Cindy IS the expert. It really made no sense that I work the search.

I remember VIVIDLY that Cindy Richards said to me "Babe, I'm taking this search!" She was authoritative, confident, and was doing what was best for the firm!

This allowed me to work on my core competency- and bill what I do best.

Can't wait to watch her make a significant impact on your business.
