Most executive search firms hand you a hire and disappear. I stay. As founder of NousSole Leadership Partners and author of Leading from the Second Seat, Patty combines 24 years of nonprofit talent expertise with integrated coaching that ensures your new leader doesn't just land, they thrive.

Our name combines "Nous" (wisdom/intellect) with "Sole" (unique/distinctive), reflecting our thoughtful, customized approach to executive search and leadership development. We understand that exceptional leadership is the cornerstone of organizational success. Through our executive search practice, we connect organizations with transformational leaders who align with their mission and culture. Our executive coaching programs develop visionary leaders who create lasting impact.
