Executive Career Advisory & Search
Guiding leaders in the pursuit of meaningful careers

Finding great executive talent for early stage ventures
Leadership is a journey, not a destination
Advisory Services
I take a customized approach to every client based on their goals.
My advisory services include one-on-one advisory sessions, creating a network strategy, personalized introductions, editing of branding materials (bios, resumes, LinkedIn, etc.), interview preparation, and due diligence (target markets, leaders, opportunities).
My search services range from a full search (sourcing to offer) to a front-end sourcing focus (research and prospecting to candidate recommendations).
My Philosophy
I believe that leadership is a journey not a destination. Some of the most interesting people do not know who they want to be when they "grow up". I enjoy guiding leaders who are on the journey of building a meaningful career.
I help clients tell their unique story, build key relationships, and achieve their goals.
Clients
I have worked with VP to C-level executives at companies of all stages and industries including technology, consumer products, media, sports, financial services, legal tech, and professional services.

About trishacadvisory
My Bio
I am a certified executive coach, executive search consultant and global talent operator. I received my executive coaching certification through UC Berkeley’s Executive Coaching Institute in 2016.
I have worked with C-level executives across industries including technology, consumer, and professional services. Clients have started companies, landed new roles internally and at leading companies (e.g., Adobe, Salesforce, IAC) in addition to expanding their network and building their brand.
For example, a CMO client was recently accepted into the Forbes Entrepreneurial CMO 50 and also served as the grand jury for the U.S. Effie Awards. Another client gave the commencement address for the UVA School of Data Science.
Earlier in my career, I was the VP of Talent Acquisition at Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE; $15B+ rev) where I recruited hundreds of senior leaders across the globe and led a team of 200+ to recruit 8,000 hires a year. At Russell Reynolds Associates, a premier executive search firm, I advised clients on C-level search assignments spanning various functions and industries with a focus on technology and digital services.
Client Results
I am proud to have helped many clients in both 1:1 engagements and executive search. A few wins include:
- A C-level client was selected for the 2024 Forbes Top 50 CMO list.
- A former CEO co-founded a marketing services startup
- A Chief Data Officer secured an advisory role at an early stage AI company
- A client landed an internal role at a public consumer brand.
- A client secured an interim CMO role that is well-aligned to their industry and functional expertise.
- I advised a Co-Founder of a VC-backed AI company and successfully completed a head of sales search in 8 weeks.
