Gilman Partners - Our Team

Our Team

A senior partner of a global consulting firm. The CFO of a leading regional bank. The CEO of a national franchise company. The CHRO of a well-known consumer products company. The CEO of a downtown development organization. A partner in a Big Four consulting and advising firm. The list goes on, but these are just a few of the experienced professionals you'll find at Gilman Partners.

Before we were successful recruiters, we were successful leaders. We have a deep understanding of your specific needs, the credibility to engage top passive talent (candidates return our calls), and the experience to vet applicants as though you were doing it yourself.

He has been building senior leadership teams at leading regional and national organizations for more than 40 years. In addition to his leadership for the firm, Tom specializes in executive-level leadership searches. He has been intimately involved in all levels of talent acquisition—sourcing, assessing and hiring—and has extensive access to senior executives, financial executives, technology and project management specialists and consulting practitioners.

Tom’s career achievements were recognized in 2010 when he was chosen as an inaugural “Second Act” Award Winner and again in 2015 when he was selected as one of “20 People to Know in HR/Employment” by the Cincinnati Business Courier. He is recognized as a thought leader on talent-related issues in the Cincinnati area, regularly contributing articles to the Business Courier and convening groups of executives to discuss current talent trends and related issues.

Prior to purchasing the firm, Tom spent 34 years (23 as a partner) as an innovative leader at Deloitte Consulting, retiring as Deputy National Director. Tom’s well-rounded experience working with organizations of all sizes – from helping small to mid-sized firms with business strategy to spearheading Fortune 100 technology implementations – gives him a unique perspective on the importance of placing the right employees in the right positions for success.
