"What I particularly like about the way EC works is that not all of the firms were giving us two people. Several of the firms were giving us one real consultant and then somebody in the back office doing research. I loved having access to two sophisticated and experienced consultants from different regions and with different experiences. I thought EC’s process would be fuller, more robust and more rich. And it was.”
– Amy Habib Rittling, Search Chair, Elmwood Franklin School, NY
Giving you our personal attention.
All of our consultants are full partners. No matter which consultant you work with, when you hire EC, you get the full breadth and experience of the firm.
We bring twenty-plus decades of shared experience across a variety of independent school environments. As experienced leaders, we are skilled coaches, expert mentors, and have a knack for recognizing outstanding talent.
Our consultants are stationed across the country and have an international reach.
This is the benefit of working with EC—an intimate firm of former school leaders who work as a team. It means access to multiple perspectives, nuanced wisdom, and established networks.
