Acertitude Opens Second California Office to Support Continued Growth
Executive search firm grows team and expands capacity to recruit brilliant leaders for companies on the West Coast.
Acertitude, the executive search firm and leadership consultancy unleashing human potential, is pleased to announce the opening of its new office in Irvine. This is Acertitude’s second office in California.
“We’re excited about Acertitude’s continued growth into the key Orange County market, a region housing many of the firm’s existing clients,” said Kevin O’Neill, co-founder and managing partner at Acertitude. “This business-friendly and high-quality talent hub is an attractive area for us to expand our local team and seize upon new opportunities as we look ahead toward another year of growth.”
Specializing in board, C-level, and senior executive placements, Acertitude helps businesses in transformative moments to recruit and harness the power of brilliant people. Already fully operational, the Irvine team offers the same suite of executive search and leadership consulting services to existing and new clients along the Pacific coast.
Since its founding in 2015, Acertitude has been on a rapid growth trajectory. It’s built a sizeable local client base consistent with Orange County’s diverse economy — from startups to Fortune 500 companies — across the area’s central industries: business and professional services; consumer; construction and manufacturing; healthcare and life sciences; and technology.
For the second year in a row, Truth in Accounting ranked Irvine as No. 1 in fiscal strength and named it the most fiscally healthy large city in the United States. This advantageous placement will help accommodate Acertitude’s continued expansion.
“We are excited to plant a flag in Irvine and further cement our presence on the West Coast, which is a great place for business, talent, and innovation,” said Rick DeRose, co-founder and managing partner. “To recruit the best talent to our clients’ companies, we need the best talent advising them. We look forward to creating a number of local jobs and further expanding our team of strategic problem-solvers in the region so that we can connect businesses with the right leaders and unleash their full potential.”
