Michelle Stuntz Named President of Consulting and Advisory Division at ZRG
02 August 2023 - 11:05AM
ZRG, the fastest-growing global executive search firm has hired
Michelle Stuntz, to lead and grow the firm’s Human Capital
Consulting and Advisory practice.
Stuntz most recently was the North America Consumer Consulting
Leader at Korn Ferry, where she led the efforts to provide human
capital strategy, innovative performance management redesign,
assessing and succession planning for C-suite talent, redesigning
various talent functions, designing EVP, and optimizing rewards
spend. She was responsible for growth across CPG, Retail, Travel,
Hospitality, Leisure, Sports, Media, and Entertainment.
Prior to Korn Ferry, Michelle spent eight years with Deloitte
Consulting, most recently as a senior manager leading teams of over
100 employees.
“As ZRG continues to build out our human capital offerings,
bringing in a leader with global experience scaling a consulting
business was a critical step in our journey,” CEO Larry Hartmann
said. “We are thrilled to add Michelle, who has successfully
navigated growing a consulting business within a global executive
search firm at Korn Ferry but also brings outstanding pedigree and
experience from Deloitte.”
“We are very excited for Michelle as she takes on her new role,”
Hartmann added. “Her years of experience in the consulting industry
have led her to where she is now and I’m confident she will help us
expand our Consulting & Advisory Division at ZRG.”
ZRG has made two recent strategic acquisitions in the consulting
and advisory space, including Walking the Talk, a global leader in
culture transformation and Brimstone, a niche firm in the strategy
and CEO alignment space. The plans are to organically grow this
sector while continuing to be active in M&A looking for
complimentary product offerings led by great leaders.
“There’s real room in the market for a consulting practice that
inspires and supports its clients in growing organizationally and
individually; that’s what we’re doing with ZRG Consulting,” said
Stuntz. “Our solutions are practical, applicable, and immediately
useful. I’m excited to shape and grow the Consulting business unit
in partnership with our other lines of business.”
