David Youngerman, Managing Director
Having spent fourteen years in
the executive search industry, David has learned much about what makes a
strong, long-term match between his clients and candidates. Specializing
in the Consumer Packaged Goods industry, David is proud to call Pepsi-Cola,
Coors, Frito-Lay, Johnson & Johnson and General Mills as clients, just to
name a few. Clients and candidates alike have commented on David's
passion for the business, his objective view of the intangibles -- which are so
important to a good match -- his overall sense of fairness, and his ability to
facilitate a well managed process.
David's experience in executive
search began in 1989 with Atlanta-based Lucas Group, where David worked through
the ranks from Recruiter to Senior Partner, and finally as a Managing Partner
in the Atlanta office for the last six years. In December of 1999, David
left to begin Youngerman Search Partners, Inc., a "boutique"
firm specializing in mid-upper level searches in the Sales, Marketing, and
General Management functions. Prior to entering the search industry,
David spent several years in management with the Ernest & Julio Gallo
Winery.
A native of Decatur, Georgia,
David is a proud husband and father of two. He and his family currently
reside in Athens, Georgia.
