We are more nimble than the big firms, more connected than the niche boutiques. We are different.
What We Do
At Martin Kartin and Co., senior partners lead every search — no handoffs, no shortcuts.
We recruit across all functions and levels, with deep expertise in the realms of beauty, health and wellness. We also have experience in fashion, accessories, and the food and beverage space.
Founder-led brands in high-growth, investment-backed environments are one of our sweet spots.
