About PBR Executive Search
PBR Executive Search is a retained executive search firm founded in 1998 and based in New York City. The firm specializes in national searches within the nonprofit sector, working with organizations that have budgets ranging from roughly $1.5M to $250M, and its team typically fills senior leadership positions within three to six months.
Since 2002, under the leadership of CEO Pamela Riess, PBR has filled senior leadership roles across arts and cultural institutions, educational equity organizations, higher education institutions, human rights organizations, human services organizations, foundations, and environmental organizations. Notable clients include 92NY, the Association for a Better New York, and the Boca Raton Museum of Art.
While PBR serves the broader nonprofit sector, it has also completed a number of high-profile placements within the Jewish communal world, including leadership searches for Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, synagogues, and the Jewish Community Project (JCP) Downtown in New York City. As such, it functions as a professional-services partner to many Jewish organizations seeking executive talent.
