About Kerry S.
For over a decade, I’ve specialized in executive talent sourcing and leadership recruiting—connecting high-impact leaders with organizations where they can truly make a difference.At AutoNation, the largest automotive retailer in the U.S, I lead a team focused on attracting and engaging top executives and technical leaders in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and emerging technologies. My passion lies in finding those rare individuals who not only fit the role—but redefine it.To me, executive sourcing is equal parts strategy, data, and intuition. It’s about understanding market dynamics, leadership potential, and the human stories behind every career move. I take pride in building trusted relationships, mapping untapped talent markets, and designing sourcing strategies that fuel long-term business growth.My expertise includes executive search strategy, leadership pipeline development, employer branding, talent acquisition analytics, and recruitment technology optimization. I also hold a CSSR certification and have completed advanced training in email marketing and inbound recruiting, which help me bring a modern, data-driven approach to connecting with top talent.What drives me most is the impact: helping visionary leaders find their next challenge—and helping organizations find the people who will shape their future.
