She loves working with candidates to find the best job for them and helping companies find the best employees on the market. Emily is particularly focused on initiatives around culture, diversity and inclusion and is passionate about making sure more women and minorities have a seat at the table! In her free time, you can find her exploring all the amazing outdoor activities and new restaurants with her husband and three little girls.
Noelle Donnelly
Austin, Texas
Noelle spent 15 years in medical sales, most recently at Abbvie Pharmaceuticals, where she worked closely with dermatologists, infectious disease specialists, and cardiologists on developing relationships and educating them on various pharmaceutical products and disease states. Noelle was also ahead of her time when she graduated from school and went to work at the latest technology company, Flexjet, which provided fractional ownership in jets. She enjoys learning about new technologies and working with people to establish relationships and rapport. Most recently, Noelle has turned her passion for working with people towards helping people find and secure jobs they love. She enjoys learning new industries and spending time with candidates to make sure they are finding more than just a job, but a true home. In her spare time, you can find Noelle on the sidelines of one of her 4 children’s (yes, that is right, 4 children!) sports games or at her cheering her daughter on at her tennis clinics.
