Kittleman doesn’t claim to do everything. Just the one thing we do better than everyone else.

Your CEO search deserves nothing less than a personalized approach and the utmost attention.

We strive to earn your trust. We care about charitable organizations because we have been on those front lines ourselves.

Every principal consultant at Kittleman has prior career leadership experience in a nonprofit organization. We are dedicated to providing you with the highest professional standards of service in the industry, many of which we created.

You will not be handed off to someone else once we get underway, and you will be treated with the respect and diligence required in every CEO search.
