“ When I recently transitioned from VP-Purchasing at Trinity Industries to my current position, I got to know Frank when he was a guest speaker at my graduate level Supply Chain class at T.C.U. in Fort Worth (Frank’s alma mater). Frank has substantial operational experience at the senior level of corporations, which gives him the ability to discern job and task content for the client. In addition Frank also spends a great deal of time in networking with Supply Chain executives and providing assistance any way possible to develop their careers. I would wholeheartedly recommend Strategic Search Partners and intend to use Frank’s services in my new position at Leggett & Platt.”
