Who we are

Company founder Trish Mullen brings over 25 years of experience and expertise in the executive search industry to bear on every project. She realized that she had found her calling when she began working in the public interest search space. Today, what drives Trish in her personal life also drives her professionally—impact and meaning.

With the exception of a few years spent in Saskatchewan, Trish is a life-long Albertan and is proud of the connections she’s made and the understanding she brings to engagements in this province.

Trish enjoys travelling, hanging out with her kids and dog, and volunteering with community organizations such as the Edmonton Newcomer Centre, the Edmonton Down Syndrome Society, and the Edmonton Humane Society.

Tully is an extremely lovable and pathologically friendly Australian Labradoodle who enjoys spending time at the office with her people. This bundle of energy and joy is passionate about many things, but if we were to list them in order, they would be—food, people, food, other dogs, food, chin scratches, and donations made to the Edmonton Humane Society. Even her dog trainer (who has met a lot of dogs in their time) says that she is the hungriest dog they have ever seen. So when you drop by the office, be sure to give her a good chin scratch and maybe even a treat. She would love that.
