Leadership With Roots

Strategy & Search for Mission-Driven Organizations

Get Started

Pierson Henry is a women-owned boutique strategy & executive search firm helping organizations grow leadership that is rooted, resilient, and regenerative.

We partner with organizations and communities to imagine what’s possible — then find and support the leaders who can bring that vision to life.

Our work integrates strategy, search, and story — combining rigorous process with creative practice — to strengthen leadership ecosystems that are alive, inclusive, and deeply connected to purpose.

  • Strategic visioning, transition planning, and customized training to align boards with the needs and aspirations of their community.

  • A human-centered approach that prioritizes transition over transaction to help you find and retain talented purpose-driven leaders. Our search process goes beyond tired, traditional practices to find you a leader with not only the expertise you need, but the perfect mindset match for your mission, culture and community.

  • Bring out the best in your leaders through engaging workshops and intentional culture-building experiences to inspire and support mission-driven teams.

    A sampling of our workshop topics include: compassionate conflict, cultural competency and mindfulness at work.

Because you need to see the full
spectrum, not just the résumé.

Our holistic lens isn’t just a philosopy—it’s protection. We know how to get to the heart of what drives a leader to bring you the best match—for your organization and your community.

Holly took the time to understand our culture, staff and specific needs to ensure a precise match.”When Chris (our new Executive Director), was presented to the search committee, it was like a gift. He was the perfect candidate. Holly helped us access hidden talent pools by tapping into networks and candidates who were not actively job hunting.”
