Announcing Key Leadership Recognitions for 2024 at Salas O’Brien
Every year we celebrate team members who set themselves apart by contributing value to the organization while delivering quality outcomes and leading by example. Each is an effective leader who makes an impact in their immediate area as well as the broader organization.

Every member of our team contributes meaningfully to our organization’s success. We pride ourselves on exemplifying our Ownership Values to deliver high-quality solutions to our clients, build and maintain strong relationships, and provide effective leadership to shape the next generation of our firm’s leaders.
Even more importantly, we are committed to providing team members with unlimited opportunities for growth. One way in which we do this is through our annual leadership recognitions, where we celebrate team members who distinguish themselves through their growth and development, impact on the organization’s success, and embodiment of our Ownership Values.
Some of these team members are at the beginning of their leadership journey, while others have achieved success at the most senior level. Each is an effective leader who leads by example and makes an impact in their immediate area as well as the broader organization.
Every person listed here is nominated and unanimously approved by our senior leadership team and selected based on their professional contributions and achievements.
We’d like to draw special attention to our most senior recognitions, including our newest Managing Principal and eight new Principals. Each is a proven and recognized leader in our organization, driving value and leading through collaboration, mentorship, strategic planning, and continuous improvement.
