Magruder Executive

Magruder Executive Search is a boutique retained executive search firm based in Fort Worth that supports clients nationally across functions and industries. The firm has been recognized as a Hunt Scanlon Top 100 Recruiter and operates with the core principle of 'Search with Integrity'.

Magruder Executive Search specializes in executive search assignments across various C-level positions including Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Financial Officers, HR Officers, Chief Investment Officers, Legal, Marketing, Operational, Technology and Supply Chain roles. The firm's partners bring over 50 years of combined experience in retained executive search assignments.

The firm has developed extensive industry experience working with family offices, private equity firms, and public companies. Their recent focus includes supporting pre-IPO private clients, family offices, and active private equity clients as they evolve and mature. Founded in 2017 by Mark and his partners, the firm emerged from the recognition that boutique firms could better serve private equity firms, family offices, and growth-oriented public companies.

Magruder Executive Search's approach emphasizes spending requisite time upfront to actively listen to clients and refine their needs, then messaging the client's value proposition through a targeted, disciplined approach. Coming out of the 2008 downturn, the firm recognized the explosive growth of private equity firms and the need for entrepreneurial leaders who operate with a sense of urgency.

The firm believes that the right leaders retain the right teams that ultimately drive business success. As a result, they partner with clients who typically have a technology or innovative differentiator that is best supported with a boutique approach to introducing complementary talent. They maintain offices in both Fort Worth and Houston to serve their national client base.
