Ms. Diane L Shea

biography

Diane is a search partner who, quite literally, has followed her clients and candidates from twenty years of search in the investment banking, reinsurance, private equity and hedge fund arenas to the nonprofit institutions where they are now building important philanthropic legacies.

Diane was running research in the New York headquarters office of Russell Reynolds Associates in the days of primary, phone call research and Boolean database inquiries. She has never tired of the thrill of the hunt and continues to be relentless and creative in accessing talent on behalf of her clients.

From her first clients (anyone remember Kidder Peabody, E.F. Hutton and Drexel Burnham Lambert ?) to her most recent (Carnegie Mellon University, Johns Hopkins University, Colorado College), Diane has built a reputation as a true partner, bringing exceptional talent and thoughtful, value-add information and innovation to the search process.
