Creator of the DiamondValue Coaching Program:

For years, as a recruiter I have interviewed candidates and uncovered their value to an organization during the interview.  If they were not a fit for the position I was screening them for, I found myself coaching these candidates to know and be in their distinct value first and foremost upon interviewing which places them at an advantage.  Value coaching has always been part of my interview process.

A “legend” in the Executive Recruiting Industry:

As President of her own executive search firm, Stacey has served her clients at all levels as an accomplished and highly regarded executive search professional and professional value coach with over 17 years of direct hire experience. Stacey specializes in the full life cycle recruitment of executive and management professionals for corporations across industries like technology, financial markets and information management.  Stacey has established a reputation for her impressive track record of successful placements.

Recognized for her success, in 2001 Stacey was asked to lead IBM’s National redeployment project, a program focused on securing new positions for employees within the organization.  Stacey began her career with Cleveland Dovington Partners, an information technology management consulting firm, where she was rapidly moved up from IT Recruiter to Director of Recruiting, developing the recruitment process, managing a staff, and ultimately to the firm’s Business Development top position.
