Pam Claughton’s Summary

After ten years with a large, Boston based search firm, I left to open Custom Search Group, Inc. and to focus more tightly on senior level marketing and technology searches from mid to Sr. VP and C level.

I have an especially strong interest in search engine technology, mobile applications, e-commerce and other cutting edge web 2.0 focused companies. My clients range from exciting, VC funded start-ups to established market leaders, some of whom use me exclusively.

Marketing/Communications, Product/Project Management, and Software Engineers/Solutions Architects are my most common searches and where I have the deepest networks.

If you are thinking of engaging in a search, and would like to hear about opportunities that might match with your search objectives, please feel free to forward your resume to me in confidence.
