Founded in 2001 by Paul Frankenberg, Focus Search Partners was acquired in 2014 to become the retained executive search entity of Vaco, a private equity-backed consulting and strategic solutions firm with more than 40 offices across the nation and beyond.
With revenues exceeding $750 million, Vaco has been on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for the last ten years. As a Vaco company, Focus Search Partners is one of the only private equity-backed retained executive search firm in the country.
FSP acquired San Francisco-based Charlson Partners in March 2016 and in June of 2017, acquired Dallas-based Taylor Winfield Executive Search, doubling its size. Today, the firm has a broad national footprint with five offices, and as a member of Penrhyn International delivers global talent management solutions.
