Peter Crist was already an iconic leader among Board- and C-suite Executive recruiters when he launched Crist Associates in 2003. He was joined shortly thereafter by Tom Kolder, immediately distinguishing Crist | Kolder Associates as the only national boutique search firm that could credibly compete against the “big 5” global recruitment firms.

With a vision of remaining small by design, only working at the senior-most level of the market, and delivering extraordinary outcomes on behalf of their clients, Peter and Tom set the standard for the industry.

Now unencumbered from the day-to-day management of the Firm, Peter and Tom remain actively engaged in the market on Board of Director searches and select C-Suite assignments.
