NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Top Gun Ventures, a premier retained executive search firm, today announced the appointment of Tom Silver as Partner and Executive in charge of the New York area practice. “I’m thrilled to join the Top Gun Ventures team,” said Tom Silver. “This opportunity gives me the chance to work closely with clients, to find dynamic leaders that can start up, accelerate, launch or transform businesses.”
“Tom Silver brings a rare perspective to help client companies. He has been one of our executive search candidates, and a client of Top Gun Ventures, so he is very familiar with our approach, best practice techniques and search processes to find GameChangers. We are very excited to have Tom and his successful executive background as part of our unique team,” said Don Tuttle, Managing Partner, Top Gun Ventures.
“While serving on the executive team of Dice Holdings when the company recovered from Chapter 11 to IPO in 4 years, I was constantly reminded of the importance of talent and leadership in order to transform organizations and position companies for sustainable growth,” said Silver. “I worked with Top Gun for years, because of the team’s persistent desire to deeply understand my business objectives, and most importantly, the culture and values of my organization. They used that knowledge, and the fact that they conduct fewer searches at one time, to find the right number of perfectly fitting candidates – top performing executives not previously engaged in job search. I directly benefited from the 100% guarantee that the candidate I hired would achieve the agreed to strategic goals. That transparency led to successful recruiting outcomes which allowed my teams to make big impacts at our companies.”
“It takes a GameChanger to find a GameChanger and Tom has transformed every role he has had for the better. As a former candidate and client Tom has seen first hand the exponential benefits that a GameChanger can bring to an organization and these unique insights will be a great asset to our East Coast clients,” said Peter Donovan, Managing Partner, Top Gun Ventures.
