Andrew Reese

Founder and Managing Partner

Andrew founded Bluemont Associates in response to client demand for a more nuanced and attentive executive search service than was available in the market. 

He leads the business and is actively involved in every search.

“It's not enough to have a superficial grasp of the sector and know who's already looking to move. I don't think that really adds value. When I founded Bluemont I was determined to understand every nuance of every client's niche. 

I strongly believed that if I could gain the trust of an industry's most exceptional talent, by talking to them at their level, it would open doors and facilitate conversations that were not available to others. This has certainly proven to be the case and Bluemont has been built on the success of this strategy.”
