Hey There :-) Thank you for your interest in VOLO. Please watch our video. Thank you.
About Us (small-, veteran-, service-disabled veteran-, and minority-owned business). VOLO is a global executive recruiting company headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. For three decades, the company has specialized in identifying extraordinary senior-level female leaders - Board, CEO, and C-Suite - across thirty industries worldwide (128 cities across 62 countries). Yes, we also recruit exceptional men.
Humble Beginnings. In 1997, a U.S. Army Persian Gulf War Veteran created the organization from their family's 1378 square feet, three-bedroom, and 1.5-bath house in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. The office was the dining room table. The house phone was also an office line. Miller Brewing Company was their first client. Family, friends, former employers & co-workers, and customers helped the founder expand the business worldwide.
Our Mission. To help our clients recruit exceptional people that make distinctive, lasting, and substantial improvements in their performance and achieve gender parity in the board room, C-Suite, and across every job function worldwide 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🇬🇧 🇳🇱 🇦🇺.
Our Clients. VOLO's executive search consultants have completed assignments for VC-backed entities, public and private companies, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies (e.g., Coors Brewing Company, Shell Oil, and the U.S. Department of Energy).
Secret Sauce. Even before Google was a thing, VOLO built a global proprietary database with 40M+ extraordinary leaders. The company has learned many accomplished decision-makers have chosen never to open social media accounts or apply to job advertisements. For example, board members and CEOs focus on growing their businesses instead of 'likes.'
Interesting facts: Only 24% of U.S. 🇺🇸 adult women earning between $178,500 and $438,200 annual base salary that VOLO networks with use social media. In Japan 🇯🇵, it is less than 3 percent.
Supplier Diversity. The company is registered on The System for Award Management (SAM.gov; the official website of the U.S. government) and certified as a:
* Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business
* Veteran-Owned Business
* Minority-Owned Business
* Asian-Pacific American Owned Business

Create a global proprietary database of 40M+ extraordinary leaders, sprinkle in artificial intelligence, and in an old-fashioned way, we call everyone, ask them how they are doing, and share a career opportunity because board members, CEOs, and c-suite leaders develop a personal network instead of a social one.
Recruit exceptional decision-makers with high integrity, intelligence, and energy for our clients across thirty industries. The Pareto Principle holds in sports, high education/universities, businesses, and across organizations:
At VOLO, we do business the old-fashioned way ... we earn it. Organizations worldwide are pleasantly surprised by our "handshake" and affordable agreements. Whether you are a bootstrapped pre-IPO, global organization, or The White House, we will make it work.
