Modern built a firm designed around client needs and improving the lives of clients, employees, and candidates. I was attracted by the firm’s strategic, holistic, and integrated approach to talent and the firm’s culture and values. I have a passion for the industry and have believed that the industry needs a reboot and transformation. Modern is doing just that and leading through innovation and values-driven relationships.
