Coast to Coast Coverage

Kate Brennan, Founder of Brennan Group, is a former enterprise tech operator and top sales leader (PTC, Siebel Systems). We bring 20+ years of selling complex solutions to 2,000 C-suite, giving us unmatched access and credibility with top talent. We pitch our clients’ vision like operators—not recruiters.

60–90% of the executives we place weren’t actively looking and don’t respond to traditional outreach. We specialize in identifying and converting passive talent through insight, conviction, and trust.

• Brennan Group works with a select number of clients each year—by design.

• Large agencies run 100+ searches, limiting their ability to recruit from top-performing companies.

• We can recruit from virtually any company in your category—no hands-off lists.

• You get 100% of Kate’s attention and expertise—not junior associates or layered teams.

In the past 14+ years, we’ve placed executives who led Strategic Exits:

• Coupa – EVP Global Sales → IPO, $1.9B

• Lifeworks – CRO North America → sold to Telus for $2.3B

• ServiceMax – EVP Sales, CMO & SVP Products → sold to GE for $915M, again for $1.46B

• Guidewire – 12-year partnership: 3 Board Directors, 8 GTM Execs, 13 Tech Execs → scaled from $300M to $1.16B

Our candidates have consistently driven IPOs, strategic acquisitions, and scale from early stage to $1B+.

We are proudly a woman-founded and operated recruiting firm.

We have interviewed, presented, and placed women for every single role: Board Director, CEO, CPO, CRO, Head of Engineering, etc.
