Y Scouts

As CEO of Y Scouts, I highlight the connection between purpose and leadership in the recruiting process to transform how people and companies connect through a shared sense of purpose. Over the past 9 years, my efforts have brought this conversation to the forefront in the boardrooms of some of the most highly respected companies across the country.

I’m proud to lead a team of fully-committed recruiting and leadership development experts who find and hire exceptional, deeply-aligned leaders.

CEO | We Find Purpose Driven Executives For Value Aligned Companies

I’m on a mission to change how we hire leaders in this country. Our employees and customers deserve to work with executives who are aligned on the values and the mission of the company, as well as being highly capable. 

The traditional hiring system is broken. Job boards and AI have created an unholy mess of the recruitment process and no one is winning. Candidates are anxious and over-applying, employers are drowning in applications and paralyzed by choice. 

At Y Scouts, we lead with purpose. We don’t advertise roles — we use our covert discovery process to handpick outstanding candidates for your leadership role. We obsess about 3 key characteristics: 

- Relentless learning
- Developing others
- Delivering results

If a candidate has all 3, they fit our Leadership Model and only then do we progress to assessing their experience and capabilities. We look for soft skills, culture alignment and an expectation of excellence.

My early career in recruiting started at Aerotek, one of the biggest aerospace recruiters in the country. A few years later, I started my own firm, Tru Path (formerly Job Brokers Inc.), a company that grew 100% year-over-year for eight years, scaling to $50 million in revenue. 

We hired over 50,000 people across many different industries. Churn was often high, and I realized that to drive real growth in a company's culture, you have to start at the top.

So in 2012, I co-founded Y Scouts, the world’s first purpose-driven executive search firm. We work with dozens of industries, from fashion to fitness, medicine to manufacturing. 

My philosophy is simple: hire like your business depends on it — because it does.

President to VP Western Region

When we’re referred to an entrepreneur by their longstanding advisors, we hear two things. On one hand, planning is considered “done”. On the other hand, big issues remain on the table. Why the disconnect? 

Much of the industry treats exit planning as if the exit itself is the starting point. 

The true time horizon for developing a strategy is ten times wider. And, shortening the runway relinquishes a person’s choices. So why is the process stuck? 

We hear three common challenges: uncertainty, complexity and lack of collaboration. 

 Uncertainty. If you keep doing what you’re doing, will you come out ok? Is the work you’ve done so far going to get you where you want or need to be?
 
Complexity: As your business becomes more successful, life doesn’t get easier, it gets more complex. Isn’t there a simpler approach to decision-making?
 
Collaboration: If you were to ask each of your key advisors to articulate your top five goals, and the timeline for achieving them, would you get the same answer?

To overcome these challenges, decades ago we created a decision-making model called Know your story®. 

We eliminate uncertainty by helping you get to unshakable clarity about how you’d like your story to play out from here forward. You’ll arrive at pinpoint wisdom about your long-range objectives: that place of instinctual decision-making all great entrepreneurs know and trust.
 
We mitigate complexity by showing you the simultaneous impact of any decision in three essential realms: numerical, operational and relational. We look at the upside and downside of any decision: not just best-case scenarios but risks as well.
 
We define collaboration as the mutual sharing of information and insights between all your advisors. It begins behind the scenes, with your documented long-range objectives as the litmus test for recommendations. Then, together we come to you for decision-making.
