About Us

Your Top Executive Search Firm

Based in California, we are the premier executive recruiting resource for Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Executive Leadership professionals across the United States. TurningPoint Executive Search firm was first conceived in 2007 in San Diego, a unique business community driven by a diverse industry base and entrepreneurial spirit. The vast majority of these are small, privately-held organizations including numerous start-up companies, a myriad of family-owned and operated businesses, and many public, and Fortune 1000 companies. This unique marketplace served as the catalyst for launching TurningPoint Executive Search, a new type of hybrid executive search firm that effectively supports companies of all sizes and structures.
