James Green
Founder & CEO
With more than two decades of executive recruiting experience, I have established a reputation for placing C-suite leaders, General Counsel, CFOs, Controllers, and specialized executives at some of the world’s most dynamic organizations. My track record includes successful placements with major hedge funds, UHNW family offices, global SaaS innovators, Fortune 500 consumer goods companies, IPO-bound firms, leading pharmaceutical companies, and physical commodity trading clients. Whether building out entire operations teams or securing strategic leaders for high-growth startups and industry giants, I am trusted by organizations that demand excellence at every level.
As Founder and CEO of Green Search Partners, I bring a hands-on, founder-led approach to every search, always focusing on discretion, speed, and cultural fit. My work goes beyond individual placements. I have helped launch new funds, scale pre-IPO companies, and assemble high-performing operations teams from the ground up. My process blends deep industry knowledge, a robust national network, and a personal touch that delivers a 90% success rate and a sub 30-day average fill time.
Beyond executive search, I am dedicated to expanding access to the latest in AI and large language model technology. I regularly teach and share practical AI resources to help clients and candidates stay ahead in a rapidly changing landscape. I am also deeply committed to autism & apraxia awareness, both professionally and personally, and strive to foster greater understanding and opportunity for neurodiverse individuals in the workplace. At Green Search Partners, we believe that combining industry expertise, innovative technology, and a heart for meaningful causes is the key to finding the right fit in a professional setting. Let’s connect and build your next great team.
