Building a Home for Success

A Note from Denae BluethmannSenior Vice President of Recruiting + Development

Over the years, I have worked with numerous top executives, Managing Directors, and C-suite professionals. One of the most remarkable leaders I have had the pleasure of working with is McDermott + Bull’s Chief Operating Officer, Angela Anderson.

As COO, Angela serves as the foundation of our operations, leading both the recruiting and research teams in best-in-class execution support for our Managing Directors, Partners, and Principals.

Angela’s past experience as an executive recruiter and market developer arms her with keen insight to develop junior talent, support the growth of our firm, and ensure the success of our business development leaders. Many industry leaders in executive search are limited in reaching their full potential due to the lack of effective support. In my 22 years in search, I have never seen a leader like Angela who leads a team that partners so seamlessly with our practice leads in finding the best solutions for our clients.

Check out this video where Angela shares her unique background and why she considers M+B her home.
