Defining Characteristics
Top Performing
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Cameron Carmichael resulted from the alignment of the city’s top performing executive search consultants who bring combined experience of more than 80 years in executive retained search firms.
Extensive Network
We have an extensive database and network of leaders developed from diverse searches conducted over more than fifteen years, which provides us with unlimited access to top national, regional and local talent.
Off-resume Qualities
We focus our search methodology to address professional competencies and experience, as well as issues related to the client’s organization, culture, and markets served – paying strict attention to the “off-resume” qualities of culture and fit.
Multi-Specialty
We are a multi-specialty firm by design, with each partner and consultant possessing specific industry expertise. We specialize in healthcare, private equity, construction, manufacturing, and much more.
Partner Involvement
A Partner is actively involved and directly responsible for all aspects of the search process – we do not employ junior associates. The person that you meet will be the one conducting your engagement.
Clear Process
We define a clear timeline and strategy for each executive search, providing regular communication and transparency to the process while establishing an environment of confidence for success.
Executive Leadership Focus
We specialize in all kinds of C-suite recruitment and their direct reports. Some of the positions we serve include CEO, CFO, COO, CMO and other senior leadership roles.

RE-DO HISTORY
Firm History
Cameron Carmichael’s founders are graduates of two big-time college rivals – Duke University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our firm is named after the legendary basketball stadiums found on each campus: Cameron Indoor Stadium and Carmichael Auditorium.
While it may be hard to believe that a Blue Devil and a Tar Heel could co-exist, Gary and Rich have worked together since 2000, and they welcomed another Tar Heel when Martin joined the firm in 2011. Just like the passion, drive and teamwork found on the historic courts of their alma maters, Cameron Carmichael is innovating the way leading companies search and retain game-changing talent.
