Our Story
My heroes aren’t celebrities. My heroes are people who start, run and build businesses. I admire companies that live their mission by producing superior products, providing extraordinary customer service, and taking care of their employees. I’m inspired by their stories and our candidates: their work, their passion for their careers, and the pride they have developed in their expertise. Even when I’m not working, I listen to shows like From Scratch, Bloomberg News and Nightly Business Report.
Mulberry is my third start-up, coming after two other placement agencies: Maid in America and Town & Country Resources. Through these agencies, I developed my expertise in matching candidates and clients as well as my commitment to differentiating on excellence of service. There is an art, craft, and refined expertise in these types of personnel services that comes from experience and a passion for this work. At Mulberry, we embrace this passion.
It’s our pleasure to hear your story, partner with you, and provide an exceptional service experience.
