Industrial Search Partners Hires Director to Manage New Pittsburgh Office

Industrial Search Partners (ISP) announced that Sarah Stewart has joined ISP as a Director for its new Pittsburgh office. Sarah has over 25 years of executive recruiting experience, with firms such as Spencer Stuart and Boyden, where she conducted executive and board-level search engagements for companies in a broad range of industries.

Sarah has managed selected recruiting assignments for Board Directors, CEOs and other operating executives, CFOs, CIOs, and senior human resources, investor relations and corporate communications executives. She has been particularly active with board-level recruitment over the past 15+ years and is a founding member of the board of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Association of Corporate Directors, where she currently serves as Treasurer.

“Sarah is an exceptional professional with a presence that extends our firm’s capabilities,” said Patrick Ference, Managing Partner of ISP. “Her background and experience are a fitting complement to ISP’s breadth and specialization.”

Managing Partner Jason Ward added, “Sarah’s addition to the ISP team is in keeping with the firm’s founding commitment to exclusively serve clients in the industrial segments. As one of the United States’ prominent industrial cities, Pittsburgh has long been home to established heavy industry. Now, there are also manufacturing entrepreneurs taking advantage of what some have called our nation’s ‘hardware renaissance’. This makes Pittsburgh an excellent location for ISP’s next office.”

Sarah has appeared in PBS’ Nightly Business Report, Investment News, Wall Street Journal, Crain’s New York Business, Directorship, Corporate Board Member, Institutional Investor.com, and Newsday.

A graduate of Colorado College, Sarah also studied at the University of London.
