Our team is yours.

Amy has worked at Chaloner since 2000, holding nearly every role on her way to leadership. She now oversees the firm’s growth and strategy while remaining closely involved in what she loves most: recruiting.
‍

Amy earned her bachelor’s degree from St. Lawrence University, which she attended on a community service scholarship. She is active in the Communications Network and an involved community member in Brooklyn, where she lives with her husband, their three children, and the family dog.
‍

Known for her ability to connect people with opportunities, Amy brings both vision and heart to Chaloner’s work. Outside of search, she is an aspiring florist who finds joy in helping others thrive.

Beth leads full-service executive searches, cultivates client relationships and manages expansion of the Chaloner client base and network.
‍

Before joining Chaloner, Beth spent nearly 30 years as a communications strategist and agency leader, managing client accounts, operations, and culture while serving as a trusted member of executive leadership teams. Her first job was as a 15-year-old retail employee at The Gap – a role that taught her the blueprint for good customer service, and a flawless approach to folding sweaters.

Beth finds great satisfaction in helping individuals take the next step in their careers while strengthening organizations with the right leadership. For her, search is a form of matchmaking: an opportunity to create connections that benefit candidates and clients alike.

Beth is a graduate of the University of Richmond and lives in New Jersey with her husband, a public-sector attorney, their two (nearly adult!) children, and their Bernedoodle.

Jaimie focuses on executive search for mission-driven organizations and leaders in the social impact space, specializing in building strong, integrated teams that advance equity and meaningful change. She describes her favorite moment in search as the instant when a client, candidate, and team all feel the connection – and know the match is right.
‍

Jaimie joined Chaloner from sister firm Patino Associates, where she led executive searches for nonprofits and purpose-driven institutions. Prior to her career in search, she was a senior leader in the social impact sector, both in-house and in agencies. She built and managed teams, launched programs, and established best-in-class organizations, with a particular focus on environmental and economic justice. It’s what has given her the insight to be a compassionate and empathetic leader in executive search.

Jaimie holds a master’s degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan and began her career as an environmental consultant, working on energy equity across the Southeast.

She lives with her husband in Northern California, where she enjoys writing and exploring the outdoors.

Jenn applies more than 20 years of experience in executive search and talent advisory to her work with clients, identifying leaders across communications, public affairs, sustainability, program management, and executive leadership.
‍

Jenn has led national searches in a range of sectors, including healthcare, disease advocacy, energy, environment, conservation, and education. Earlier in her career, she partnered with Fortune 500 companies and major communications firms, from boutique consultancies to some of the world’s largest PR agencies. Known for her empathetic, relationship-driven approach, Jenn takes pride in building lasting connections with clients and candidates alike.
‍

Jenn holds a degree in art history from The College of the Holy Cross, and lives with her husband and their two children in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Elizabeth (they/she) is a Project Manager at Chaloner, where they support the research team by identifying candidates for searches and assisting recruiters throughout the hiring process. They also shape Chaloner’s communications by writing articles, social media content, and job alert newsletters.
‍

Before joining Chaloner, Elizabeth worked in educational publishing as an editorial coordinator, specializing in research, copyediting, and product management. That experience sharpened the skills they now bring to executive search.
‍

Born and raised in Vermont, Elizabeth recently returned after seven years in Brooklyn. Outside of work, they enjoy karaoke, playing video games, and exploring Burlington’s restaurant scene.

‍
For Elizabeth, the most rewarding part of placing talent is when a candidate from a former search becomes a placement in a later one – showing that the relationships built through a search process can open doors down the road.

‍

Nina (she/her) leads Chaloner’s research team and oversees strategy for research and data management. She designs systems to identify and assess senior and executive-level talent, and manages strategic projects that strengthen the firm’s ability to serve its clients.

Earlier, she worked across the nonprofit sector in investor relations, program leadership, and business development research. She also served as a program evaluator for a workforce development nonprofit and conducted Fulbright research on small businesses and their impacts on refugee communities.
‍

Nina is especially passionate about supporting candidates of color, candidates from immigrant backgrounds, and neurodiverse candidates. Helping individuals access leadership roles and greater compensation, she believes, has a lasting impact on their growth.
‍

Nina lives with her partner in Boston – where you might find them on the weekends singing together at weddings and open mics.
