Blackshaw Partners opened an office in Frisco on Oct. 26 at 5 Cowboys Way, Ste. 300. The Atlanta-based executive search firm aims to connect clients with executives worldwide. The company’s mission statement is “to deliver great leaders that will shape and drive the success of their client’s organization,” according to a news release.

Blackshaw Partners was founded in 1976. The firm has completed over 3,000 search assignments for positions such as vice presidents, board members and c-suite level executives, according to senior partner Kevin Howard. Howard is leading client engagement in Texas and across the southwest.

“The right leadership can transform your organization,” said founding partner Brian Blackshaw in the release. “Nothing else has a greater impact on your company, its culture, and its ability to reach its goals.”

Howard said his firm will likely hold a VIP gathering in January at the Cowboys Club at 5 Cowboys Way to celebrate the move into Frisco. 404-949-3060. www.blackshawpartners.com
