Vell Executive Search has a longstanding track record of success as a diversity recruiting firm. You can count on us for the experience, diverse talent access and data-driven approach you would expect from a larger search firm. But as a boutique firm, we are free from the onerous off-limits restrictions that can prevent you from accessing the top diverse executives who have the experience and skillsets you need.
In today’s hypercompetitive landscape for diverse executive and board talent, Vell is uniquely positioned and has a proven track record in delivering exceptional results.
Vell Executive Search has decades of experience identifying and recruiting diversity candidates for board and senior technology leadership positions. Our approach to diversity recruiting includes:
For some executive search firms, diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) represent a promising new line of business. At Vell Executive Search, we have been doing diversity searches for decades and DE&I are core values that inform everything we do. We are a NWBOC-certified Woman Business Enterprise (WBE). Our team is majority female and ethnically diverse.
Our international team also leads with a multicultural mindset. These values were instilled in our CEO Dora Vell at an early age as the trilingual daughter of a diplomat who grew up in Canada, Greece, France, Switzerland and China. Before focusing on executive search, she demonstrated the benefits of corporate diversity in the male-dominated software field, rising through the ranks during an 11-year career at IBM to manage a large software engineering team and a software sales organization.
Our professional networks encompass all of today’s top board and executive technology talent, including a deep understanding of today’s diverse talent pool that many firms lack. We can connect you with leaders who embody diversity in all its forms, including talent across all gender identities, ethnicities, cognitive and physical abilities, national origins, sexual orientations and career experiences.
Recruiting diversity candidates should be a priority for any organization that values success. Because it is well-established that diverse teams perform better by offering more innovative thinking, broader perspectives and viewpoints that better represent the markets and audiences they serve.
The data is clear: Your business will benefit from building a diverse team, and from partnering with firms like Vell that exhibit diversity in their ranks.
Racial and gender diversity and increasing representation of historically under-represented and under-resourced groups is essential. It can advance your operational success as well as investor perceptions of your organization.
Cognitive diversity is also critical. In our board work, we help corporate boards expand beyond traditional industry experience, senior leadership experience and financial expertise. We will collaborate with you to formulate creative solutions that bolster your board expertise in the areas that matter most to your organization.
Whether you want to add expertise in strategy, digital media, information technology, marketing, cybersecurity or other areas, we can help you achieve the diversity of experience in your board that can provide a critical competitive advantage.
Vell Executive Search works tirelessly to promote diversity, inclusion and equity through initiatives and partnerships that include:
We report the latest news on diverse candidates in technology in our various monthly blogs and newsletters, including Women on Boards, Open CEO Roles & Appointments and Open CIO/CTO/CISO Roles & Appointments.
