Experience Summary
With more than two decades of executive search and leadership advisory experience, Shawn has built a portfolio of strategic services to support our client’s needs. He has successfully expanded Cochran, Cochran and Yale’s (CCY) strategic services to include M&A, turnaround, succession, and exit strategies.
Shawn cut his teeth working in the sports industry for powerhouses like Quicksilver, Benetton Sports, and Nordica, before creating his own search and advisory firms that now reside under the CCY umbrella.
A mentor and wine-aficionado, if Shawn’s not finding the cleanest line on the mountain during the winter, he’s finding the straightest line from tee-to-green during warmer weather.
