Andrew Reese

Founder and Managing Partner

Andrew founded Bluemont Associates in response to client demand for a more nuanced and attentive executive search service than was available in the market. 

He leads the business and is actively involved in every search.

“It's not enough to have a superficial grasp of the sector and know who's already looking to move. I don't think that really adds value. When I founded Bluemont I was determined to understand every nuance of every client's niche. 

I strongly believed that if I could gain the trust of an industry's most exceptional talent, by talking to them at their level, it would open doors and facilitate conversations that were not available to others. This has certainly proven to be the case and Bluemont has been built on the success of this strategy.”

Darcy runs the operational aspects of the Bluemont business, leading the finance, marketing, and administration functions.

“At Bluemont, we run our business the same way we run our searches: with meticulous attention to detail and a focus on operational excellence.

It's not just about filling a role; it's about crafting the perfect fit between talent and organization, ensuring every partnership is poised for success.” 

Eshita Starr

Director of Research 

Eshita leads the Bluemont research team, identifying candidates for evaluation and expanding the firm’s database by sourcing new talent.

“In the quest for the right talent, knowledge is our most valuable asset. We look wide and delve deep to ensure our search strategies are informed and impactful.

Our research is not just about identifying prospective candidates; it's about uncovering opportunities that align with our clients' most strategic needs.”
