Paula Kazarosian
Founder, Steele Executive Search (See her LinkedIN)
Welcome to Steele Executive Search, where experience meets expertise in the realm of executive search. With over three decades of dedicated service, Paula Kazarosian has been highly engaged in the art of talent acquisition. Her journey in the world of search has been marked by unwavering, commitment, insight, and a profound understanding of people.
Paula embarked on her professional odyssey after graduating from Phillips Andover Academy and completing her BS in History from UMass Amherst. The allure of the modeling scene drew her in, starting first in Boston and then to New York City. After a couple of years she returned to her roots in Massachusetts and ventured into the contingency search arena. 15 years of hard work and learning, enabled her to make a leap of faith and open a search firm tailored to the needs of her client/candidate base.
After 16 years of working under one of the finest search professionals in the field and rising to the level of VP of Chemistry Recruiting. Paula decided to strike out on her own to broaden her scope to all areas under early stage drug discovery. Moving to a hundred-acre horse farm in the rugged mountains of Maine, she established Steele Executive Search in 2001. For over twenty years, Steele Executive Search has been synonymous with excellence in the field of executive search. Specializing in early-stage drug discovery, her firm excels in identifying top-tier executive talent, shaping the future of innovative biotech endeavors as well as working with established large pharmaceutical companies.
Paula relies on faith, compassion and integrity to guide her approach to every search. She is dedicated to aligning skills and values, fostering lasting and meaningful professional relationships.
While her professional journey has been centered around search, her interests are as diverse as the talent pool she works with. From modeling, to guiding 8-11 year olds in their faith journey, to training horses on a farm in Maine, life’s experiences have enriched her understanding of people and their aspirations. This multifaceted perspective infuses a unique flavor into Steele Executive Search's approach, making them not just search specialists, but partners in your success story.
