Shawn Woessner’s approach to executive search was forged through a unique evolution. After beginning his career in financial leadership, he joined Woessner & Associates in 2005, partnering with his father to build one of the Twin Cities’ most respected boutique firms.
Their success led to a 2010 acquisition by a Top Ten global search firm, where Shawn spent the next thirteen years as a senior leader, instrumental in establishing and leading their Minneapolis presence. Today, he integrates that global infrastructure and sophisticated market reach with the agility and personal accountability of the boutique model.
