Kristen and her business partner, Heidi Hopkins, started Corporate Ladder Search Partners, Inc. in 2007. Corporate Ladder began strictly as a search firm, primarily specializing in accounting, finance, and human resources. Since its inception, it has grown to three operating divisions (Search, Legal, and Temporary/Contract Staffing) and 10 employees to better serve its customers! Kristen and Heidi continue to be very involved in the business and remain committed to their quality approach and strong client relationships that have brought them this far. Celebrating 12 years in business as Corporate Ladder, Kristen brings more than 20 years’ experience in executive search, recruiting, management, human resources and accounting to Corporate Ladder.

During her tenure at RHI, she opened new offices and divisions and earned several sales and leadership awards including the prestigious Reach for the Stars Award, President’s Club, and Manager of the Year. Kristen holds both an MBA and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Marketing from The University of Akron where she was a member of Delta Sigma Pi, a national business fraternity.
