Testimonials
What our clients are saying...
Strategic, action oriented and fearless, Caroline is an absolute dream to work with. I managed Caroline at Revolution Foods where she scouted new markets, trained new sales people and conducted outreach to prospective customers. Caroline is a relationship master and able to open doors that historically may have felt closed. She is not a transactional colleague--Caroline applies strategy to each project she works on; she sets metrics and analyzes her results to understand where she is performing and where she needs to revisit her initial strategy. I would hire Caroline in a heartbeat to work with me in any organization.

Testimonials
What our clients are saying...
We have collaborated with Caroline on several executive searches in the Bay Area and beyond, all to great success. I especially appreciate Caroline's deep attention to our organizational culture. She has helped us persuade several talented people who weren't looking for a new job to join our playful band of social change leaders. And she's taken great care and invested significant time to work alongside us throughout the process. She leaves no stone unturned and has the stamina required for really effective executive search.

Testimonials
What our clients are saying...
I've worked with several other search firms, and Fitz-Roy and Associates is the best. My organization is incredibly adaptive and entrepreneurial. The roles I am looking for aren't standardized. Caroline is strategic and adaptive; she identifies where things should be different. It was a dream to work with her. She gives great advice about hiring, talent, and organizational design. If you want a true partner with a smaller boutique focus -- meaning more personalized attention -- and you want someone who will build and adapt, that’s when I'd hire Fitz-Roy and Associates.
