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.

It has always been my vision to build an organization where there are no limits to what anybody can do. These leaders represent the personal and professional growth that is possible at Salas O’Brien and showcase what we are all about—hard work, growth, continuous betterment, and delivering consistent results. I am so proud of all they do and the example they set for every one of our team members.
Darin AndersonChairman and CEO, Salas O’Brien
