With the recent addition of clients such as the Atlanta Dream, College Football Hall of Fame, East Lake Foundation, and the Blank Family of Businesses (Atlanta Falcons), PES' sports practice continues to grow and expand its reach beyond collegiate athletics.

PES leveraged its proven search process in sports, completing successful CEO and head coach searches for the Atlanta Dream, as well as for four key executives for the College Football Hall of Fame (CFHOF).

"When the College Football Hall of Fame needed to find specialized and dedicated executive leadership, we turned to Parker Executive Search for its expertise and proven track record," said John Stephenson, president and CEO of the College Football Hall of Fame. "Parker's understanding of our unique needs and approach to our project as a true partner fast tracked our searches and enabled us to build an executive team that ensures our business objectives are met, allowing us to deliver college football fans a world-class experience."

For the Blank Family of Businesses, PES recruited Elena Cizmaric as director of communications from Turner Enterprises, while Alison Sawyer of the Atlanta Hawks and Phillips Arena was named director of foundation communications.

PES is currently identifying candidates for a director of communications at East Lake Foundation.
