Here’s what our clients are saying about us:

Carla Hendra
Co-Chief Executive Officer, Ogilvy North America

"I've worked with Karen and her team for over 20 years with enormous success. They know the territory of direct and digital marketing and they know the talent. We consider them great partners."

Steve Kietz
CEO, Mobile Money Ventures, LLC

"I have known Karen Tripi for many years in several different capacities. Her many years of experience in direct marketing, her innate talents at building winning teams, and her ability to truly understand the clients needs are undoubtedly what has made KTA as successful as it is. Her ability to present top level candidates and provide top notch service at the same time is what makes KTA such a pleasure to work with."

Joe Grimaldi
Chief Executive Officer, Mullen

"When KTA does a search for Mullen, she works hard at really getting to know us well. Her team asks questions and probes and digs deep to understand what we really need. It forces us to form a clear picture of what we hope to find. You feel like you're working with an internal partner. We always find that we have a tough decision to make; almost all of the candidates they present are stellar. Although it does tend to make the decision between the finalists tougher.... we always end up with the perfect solution.

That's why we always use them.... and we'll keep on using them!"

Jerry Shereshewsky

"Karen Tripi is a terrific resource in the direct marketing world. Her connections run incredibly deep and her real understanding of our business enable her to be really accurate in her recommendations. She is my first choice when I have to do a search.

Additionally, I have worked with Karen on both sides of the process. She actually placed me in a senior level executive position. While I was her candidate, she treated me with the exact same respect and care as she does when I am her client . Need I say more?"

George A. McMillan
Chief Executive Officer
Lincoln, Massachusetts

"Karen Tripi Associates has been a valued business partner for over 15 years. Their capabilities and expertise have assisted me with senior executive recruiting for both the direct response and on-line enterprises I have run. They have also worked with us in the professional services and technology firms that I have led. This team has demonstrated an ability to identify and understand the combination of experience, domain expertise, leadership skills, and intangibles that make an effective senior executive. As a CEO with time constraints, I have always found them to be skilled at screening out all but the highest potential finalists.

Their perceptiveness in understanding the management styles and cultures of my teams has enabled them to recruit executives that have  the perfect chemistry and temperament to succeed in the companies I have led. I readily endorse them as a business partner to the CEO, COO, or EVP of Human Resources in any organization."

Rachel Platt
Vice President, Human Resources,
Direct Holdings Americas / Time Life

"Karen Tripi Associates makes doing a senior level search easy. They have a vast network and a highly skilled research team. They are all well respected and connected to the top players in the direct and digital world. When we did our search for a Managing Director, Karen and Ellen found a group of qualified candidates quickly. And they were right on target with their recommendations. They understood our environment perfectly and made the process actually pleasurable. We actually laughed a lot along the way. I'd work with them again in a heartbeat."

Linda Sorbera
SVP, Director of HR, MRM Worldwide

"I have worked with Karen Tripi for almost 9 years. Her firm's success comes from her passion for what she does, but more importantly, from her genuine caring and commitment for her clients. She has a natural knack for assessing the culture and for knowing a good fit when she sees one. She is always fair in her dealings with people. Whenever we've had to pull back on a search, Karen has always been gracious and understanding. She is in tune with the market and the economy, and stays on top of the industry. The candidates she sends to us speak of Karen and her team as if they are family. Over the years Karen has not been just an admired colleague, but she has become a trusted friend."

Sandra Sims-Williams
VP, Director of Diversity, D I G I T A S Inc.

"Working with Karen Tripi Associates is like "going home"..... all of you are such a delight to work with. You understand my world. My days are so busy, I only have time to see the very best. And that's what you give us. KTA goes outside the limits to  understand our environment, who we are, and what we need. You even understand how we align with our competitors. Most importantly,  you really know who will succeed here. I could not ask for a better partner. The stars line up.... what can I say?"

Robert Palmer
General Manager, Sudler Digital

"My long association with Karen Tripi Associates continues to pay off. Karen and her colleagues are able to help our fast-growing company find exactly the people we need for key positions. They zero in on our exact needs, help us think through and build a compelling job description, and then always seem to have exactly the right person for the role. Most impressive, KTA provides access to high-profile, talented, experienced people who are able to help us achieve our goals. Once the right candidates are identified , Karen and her associates help close the deal, handling problems or obstacles if they come up. And, since Karen Tripi Associates does their homework before sending people our way, our success rate is as high as it could possibly be ...  (and the process is painless). Compared to other search consultants that I’ve had experience with, my opinion has remained the same over the years: They are the best in the
business."

John Sheldon

"Working with the team at Karen Tripi Associates was a terrific experience. Karen and Linda helped me define and articulate the opportunity I was seeking. By discussing my skill sets and expertise they drew out important elements that would were appealing to several potential employers. In the end, they helped me find the perfect job, the one I hoped for in New York with a major agency. Not only did they nail the right job, but they were always pleasant and professional."
