Contact Charlie Solorzano

Every high-stakes leadership engagement begins with a direct, confidential conversation.

If you are considering an executive search, board appointment, succession decision, or cross-border leadership mandate, use the form below to share the context. You do not need a completed job specification to start the conversation — early-stage mandate definition is often part of the work.

I review inquiries directly and will determine the right next conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most useful context is the role or leadership issue, the ownership structure, the geographic scope, and any timing or confidentiality requirements. You don't need a finished mandate or job description — understanding the leadership challenge is where the conversation usually begins.

Yes. I conduct senior search mandates on an exclusive, retained basis through Alder Koten. This structure supports dedicated market mapping, outreach, assessment, and advisory throughout the engagement. Learn more about the search process →

Cross-border searches are coordinated as a unified mandate across the U.S. and Mexico, with attention to local talent markets, compensation, mobility, reporting relationships, and bicultural operating requirements. Where legal, tax, immigration, or regulatory advice is required, clients should work with the appropriate professional advisors.
