About Nick Lazzara

I\'m currently a Partner at Randall Partners, where I\'m lucky to be supported by one of the best executive search teams in the industry.I connect Private Equity-backed portcos and high-growth public companies with exceptional executive leaders to tackle their biggest business problems and drive significant EBITDA improvement. I place talent across the C-Suite (and key direct reports) spanning multiple verticals including consumer, business services, industrial/manufacturing, tech and residential services. During my 12+ year career in executive search, I\'ve been fortunate to partner with incredible clients, ranging from high-growth PE/VC-backed companies to Fortune 100 giants across all industries. I\'ve also had a front-row seat during some of the most dynamic talent markets and complex geopolitical and supply chain landscapes we\'ve seen. As an avid follower of business trends, I enjoy sharing my findings here on LinkedIn and external channels via speaking and writing engagements. I\'m particularly active in the Supply Chain field and had the honor of serving as President and board member for the Chicago chapter of ISM (Institute for Supply Management), the largest supply management association in the world.
