At Briefcase Coach, we combine insider hiring expertise with years of experience helping senior executives succeed. Founder Sarah Johnston, a former corporate recruiter, knows exactly what top companies and executive search firms seek. Our team brings deep industry knowledge, advanced credentials, and specialized experience in executive, healthcare, and board placements.
