Her executive search career began at The Caldwell Partners. Bernadette then explored new territory with a brief stint as an account executive at a start-up company specializing in direct marketing, software development and customer service operations. Finally, Bernadette found her niche at executive search firm Highland Partners (previously known as TMP Worldwide and Illsley Bourbonnais Ward Howell and now known as Heidrick & Struggles). As a Partner in the Technology and Telecom practice, she was responsible for securing candidates for a broad range of organizations from US multinationals to burgeoning start-ups in Canada.

After 10 years, Bernadette made the move to Russell Reynolds Associates where she was instrumental in establishing their Professional Services, Technology and Healthcare Practice. But she soon realized the traditional recruiting model was never going to allow for the focus and commitment required and deserved for senior executive placement. It was this revelation that led Bernadette to found Oxford Partners International in 2005. |
