Our Team
Meet the founders behind Venatis Partners' exceptional executive search services.
The Boutique Advantage
At Venatis Partners, we believe in the power of a focused, boutique approach to executive search. Unlike larger firms where your search may be delegated to junior team members, our founders personally lead and execute every search engagement.
Founder-Led Execution
When you partner with Venatis, you work directly with our founders throughout the entire search process. Tyler and Brandon personally lead candidate development, interviews, and assessments, ensuring the highest level of quality and attention to your specific needs.
Specialized Focus
Our boutique structure allows us to be highly selective about our client engagements, ensuring we maintain deep focus on each search. This results in more thorough candidate assessment, faster placements, and better long-term outcomes for both clients and candidates.

Our Approach
As a boutique firm, we take a hands-on, high-touch approach to every search engagement.
