Reflecting on 2020

Despite the many challenges, Egret Consulting's business exceeded 2019. We had the pleasure of working with several new clients, and for the first time placed many candidates who only interviewed over the phone or via Zoom. We learned how to work from home and work through distractions. Many of our clients took the opportunity to hire great talent that would not have been available had the pandemic not happened. Companies took this opportunity to grow their market share and expand their sales channels. This year we saw an increase in clients top grading their VP and C suite team to reevaluate and implement new sales and marketing / branding strategies. We continue to be extremely grateful to the electrical industry, our clients and candidates. We wish you a Happy Holiday and extend warm wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Ted Konnerth Retiring

Egret Consulting Group announces that Ted Konnerth is retiring from executive search. Ted will continue to support our clients with M&A (mergers and acquisitions) consulting for the next several years; in association with Merrimack Group. Ted founded Egret in 1999 and grew the firm to the largest executive search firm dedicated solely to the electrical industry with verticals in lighting, electrical distribution, renewable energy, building automation, and wire & cable. Ted sold Egret to Brooke Ziolo in 2019. Brooke said “It’s been such an honor working for Ted over the past 13 years. He taught me everything I know about the lighting industry and recruiting. He built an amazing recruiting family at Egret of which I couldn’t be more proud. He will be greatly missed. We wish him the best in his transition into M&A consulting!”
