Our Team

While executives at a well-regarded outplacement consulting firm during the summer of 1996, John Salveson and Sally Stetson spotted an industry weakness. They noticed that while many executive search firms did a fine job recruiting candidates, few took more than a passing glance at corporate culture-the very personalities, procedures and idiosyncrasies that make each organization unique.

With a firm belief that it takes more than just a good resume to succeed as an executive, the two outplaced themselves -- and founded Salveson Stetson Group, Inc. (SSG). SSG brings an entirely new approach to retained executive search, focusing on corporate culture and assimilation as well as candidates' qualifications. Each assignment has a clear goal: to strengthen the client's company for the long-term by helping it attract, select, develop and retain high-quality members of senior management.
