Angela Freeman

Managing Partner

Randall Partners

Location: Deerfield, IL

Founded: 2020

Industry: Executive Recruiting

After 20+ years in capital markets and mortgage-backed security trading, Angela Freeman decided to make a big leap in her career when she was approached by the founding partners of an executive retained search firm that had a strong niche in the lower middle market private equity world. “I was immediately captivated by this local opportunity to use my strong analytical and interpersonal skills to learn about new industries, business, and bring them the perfect candidates,” said Freeman.

Freeman now serves as the managing partner of Randall Partners. “I continue to help build the boutique firm daily, but our reputation and stellar placements help tell our story to new clients routinely,” she said. “Looking forward, when people think of search and the need for great talent, they will think of Randall Partners and have no doubt they will have a successful placement.”

Randall Partners is a boutique executive search firm that partners with clients to deliver amazing business results. The company works predominately at the C-level and their direct reports and has led over 600 executive searches and their placements have delivered billions in enterprise value.

Within almost four short years, Freeman has helped her partners grow the business astronomically, impacting not just the St. Louis market, but also around the country as a whole. The firm has attracted large PE new clients from the St. Louis market and has attracted and retained clients through referral business.

“The search world can have all kinds of twists and turns along the way, but with clear communication, honesty and diligence, you will be able to deliver great results and in turn, be given the biggest award in the end – a loyal, thankful client for life,” said Freeman.

Involved leadership is an approach that Freeman takes seriously. “As a seasoned finance professional, I show strength on a daily basis amongst my team, going on new pitch calls with prospects and having the discipline to always keep hustling, even when times are tough,” she said.

To foster success, Freeman emphasizes the importance of listening. “Whether I’m interviewing a candidate, pitching a new client, or discussing a search with a colleague, I feel that my ability to connect, relate and truly listen is a gift,” she said. “Listening and always learning is a superpower I value and a real-life strength that enables me to be successful in my life and in my career.”

For fostering success of her team and her clients, Freeman has been named a titan.

Did you know?

My secret superpower is listening. Whether I’m interviewing a candidate, pitching a new client, or discussing a search with a colleague, I feel that my ability to connect, relate, and truly listen is a gift. So frequently, people over-speak. They are often too concerned with sharing their story, and don’t take the time to pause and listen. Coupled with this trait, I’m always learning. I am motivated and intrigued to learn about new industries, firms, and investments. I am curious to hear of someone’s journey to success and how they have been able to successfully navigate their career. Listening and always learning is a superpower I value and a real-life strength that enables me to be successful in my life and in my career.
