David N. Schwartz has 20 years of experience in the financial services sector, both as a practitioner and as an executive search professional. Starting as a bond trader at Goldman Sachs� London office in 1986, he has held positions in both production and management/administration in several divisions of that firm, including Fixed Income; Operations, Technology and Finance; Investment Banking; and Human Capital Management. Much of David�s experience was gained in London, where he also developed and ran a successful executive search practice from 1995 through 2000. During this period, he helped recruit the team for what became one of the largest and most successful private equity firms in London, before being recruited back to Goldman Sachs to run the human resources function for its Investment Banking Division in Europe. David relocated to the US in 2002 with Goldman Sachs, and returned to executive search in 2003. After a stint in two larger firms, he has decided to build his own practice based on his own distinctive approach to the executive search business. From 1980 until 1986, David worked in the national security/defense policy sector, with assignments at the US Department of State and the Brookings Institution. He has written several books on national security matters published by Brookings, and holds a BA from Stanford University and a PhD from MIT, both in Political Science. He also serves on the Alumni Council of Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. |
