In 2001, I founded waterman hurst, a groundbreaking company that has provided high-level private career and end-to-end job search services for C-level, senior executive level, and high-potential executives for over twenty-four years. waterman hurst has provided services to hundreds of C-level and other senior executives, facilitating the achievement of their career goals, which often included a successful job search.
Prior to founding waterman hurst, I was a corporate officer within three global public companies with both general management and broad functional responsibility. I recruited officers and CEOs, often with game-changing results. I was a top-five earner and recognized by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the top ten highest-paid women in Silicon Valley. I graduated from HBS’ TGMP and earned a BA from UCD and an M.S. in Career Development from CSUH.
