Sunita Liggin
Senior People Practices Partner

I worked with Celia on an executive leadership opportunity, and was surprised to learn that she was not an employee of the hiring company, because she demonstrated such a deep knowledge of her client’s business and the value they deliver. Celia has built tremendous trust and credibility with her client partners. As a prospective candidate, I felt immediately at ease and appreciated her interview style, which is comprehensive and fun. Celia achieves that delicate balance of advocating wholeheartedly for both client and candidate.

She helps you figure out what you want in the first place.

Celia has been an amazing partner in two of my past job searches. She is a well informed resource who provides highly relevant and practical guidance.

Most notably, she works as a true partner and develops a balance between self discovery and offering firm advice when needed. She really gets to know you as a person, and seeks to bring out what you are truly trying to accomplish in your career, in both the short, medium, and longer-term timelines.
