Experience Summary
With more than two decades of executive search and leadership advisory experience, President and CEO Shawn Baker has expanded Cochran, Cochran & Yale’s portfolio of strategic services to support our clients’ rapidly evolving leadership talent needs. Under his leadership, the firm has added numerous strategic services, including M&A advisory, turnarounds, succession planning, 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 which 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.
