Austin Executives in Transition
A members-only group supporting each other in securing their next position
A note from Distinguished Search:
We are in interesting times.
As an executive recruiter many people approach me who are out of work and seeking their next position. I've been inspired to launch this group based on some of the fantastic people who have been referred to me. I'd like to bring them together.
Life is virtual now but our focus will be Austin. We'll transition to in-person meetings when we're able.
ABOUT US
Navigating a job search can be tough to do alone. Austin Executives in Transition (AET) is an intimate group that meets weekly to help each other secure their next executive position in Austin.
Our members have served in executive roles, typically VP or C-level with at least 20 years experience.
Membership is granted by an application process, acceptance ultimately determined by current members.
We meet via Zoom once a week.
Once members are no longer "in transition" they become alumni and are invited to our quarterly socials.
