SLATE is a retained executive search and talent management firm with deep roots in the U.S. Heartland, where culture and values shape the way organizations operate.

We focus on leadership and succession roles at the board and executive level, partnering with organizations to find culturally aligned, enterprise-ready leaders who elevate performance and shape the future.

SLATE has a dedicated HR executive search vertical focused on Chief People Officers and senior HR leaders across talent acquisition, organizational effectiveness, learning and development, and total rewards.

In addition to executive search, we provide leadership consulting, talent strategy support, and board advisory through the SLATE Board Network.

Every search is personally led by a senior partner. No handoffs. No layers. Just strategic, high-accountability execution.

Our core work is in financial services and across sectors in the South, Midwest, and Southwest—regions where company culture is grounded in values and shaped by continuity, whether through family ownership or long-term leadership.
