Vice President/Managing Director-Money Management. A NYC city based asset management firm with $7 billion under management in high net worth, and institutional assets wants to add several professionals. Operate highly independently within a small, collegial team environment. Top payouts, bonus, equity and unique retirement plan. Interested individuals should have transportable client accounts of at least $100 million and enjoy a value driven investment climate with extensive in house research and an international client exposure. This is a significant long term career opportunity with a recognized industry leader. We continue to thrive in this troubled economic climate. Consider us for a stable work climate where there has been no turnover in partners in the past ten years.

The Maher Consultancy is a retained executive search consultancy and is an outgrowth of three prior alliances I was involved with dating to 1980. While the thrust of my work has been high level corporate recruiting there has been a significant increase in our nonprofit work.

This stems mostly from the fact that I am known for my volunteer and board commitments that span twenty-five years. I currently serve as Chairman of the Paterson Boys & Girls Club and as a Board Member of a local United Way. In the past I held board positions with a large chamber of commerce, a New England Bank, and the Nicholas Martini Foundation and as a founding member of an Advisory Board at FDU.

My challenge? To affiliate strategically with one or more consultants whose expertise lies in fund raising, development and nonprofit board governance and renewal.

My projects may offer hourly, daily or project sharing opportunities. I firmly believe in a team concept and am willing to enter revenue sharing arrangements that reflect that commitment.

Please feel free to visit our web site at www.themaherconsultancy.com for a comprehensive profile and client list. I will be happy to discuss this opportunity with you at your pleasure.
