Our Principals

Paul Palazzolo, Founder and President

Paul Palazzolo

As Founder and President, Paul directs the firm with a focus on enabling and maintaining the highest level of professional standards for its clients. In addition to his management responsibilities, Paul remains an active, mid to senior level executive search consultant for clients in both the public and private sectors. By leveraging his over 20 years of experience as an accomplished executive for several Fortune 500 companies, Paul has emerged as an authority in environmental consultancy staffing for client companies and candidates alike. Prior to founding the firm, Paul held top tier management positions through which he developed a strong skill set and reputation as an expert in the areas of change management, cost containment and process innovation, among others. Paul's unique perspective enables him to represent the firm's environmental and engineering client companies and candidates with an understanding of the tangible and intangible aspects of a perpetually changing business climate.

Personal Philosophy: “I believe in the importance of the intangible as well as the tangible. These are often the characteristics that separate good from great. I believe that, in this world of impressive technology, too many companies forget that their most important asset is their people.”

Richard Brandon, Senior Managing Partner

Richard Brandon

As Senior Managing Partner, Richard drives the day to day operation of the firm in collaboration with its Founder and President. Richard and his team are well-networked in the conventional and differentiator environmental industries, which allows him to keep his finger on the pulse of those markets. In practice, Richard focuses on mid to senior level management assignments at both the corporate and satellite office levels, as well as a variety of executive management projects in environmental, civil and geotechnical engineering, among others. With over a decade of career experience, including several years at the director level, Richard understands the challenges faced by senior management and HR, especially during growth periods. With his empathetic perspective on placement and retention issues, Richard has proven to be an invaluable partner for the firm's clients.

Personal Philosophy: “I believe the most successful individuals are those who gain their competitive edge by leveraging an advanced ability to communicate. As business cultures and economic trends ebb and flow, clear, concise communication remains the most solid of foundations.”
