Marialice Carter, Co-Founder
With more than 20 years in search, Marialice has worked on both sides of the table—first in agency settings, and then for five years leading searches in-house at Comcast. That experience gives her a rare, well-rounded view: she understands not only how to find exceptional talent, but how a hire actually performs and integrates inside a complex organization. She partners closely with clients through growth, transformation, and change, always focused on long-term alignment and leaders who make a lasting difference.
