The Pathfinder
Kaylee brings a methodical, research-driven mindset to everything she does, whether she’s mapping the talent market for a C-suite search or planning her next beach escape. Her favorite workdays involve uncovering hard-to-find candidates, analyzing market trends, and helping clients make smart, informed hiring decisions – finding their path. She’s just as precise when it comes to planning travel itineraries or chasing a perfect rally on the tennis court.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. Helen Keller
