Grant Morgan

Grant Morgan is a national retained executive search firm based in the DC Metro Area, with its office in Bethesda, Maryland. It says it has been working for over 25 years. Founder and Managing Director Mark Pugrant moved from Arthur Anderson in the early 1990s after identifying a gap in the market for a highly specialised financial recruiting firm.

The firm has its roots in finance-oriented recruiting, and it says about 50% of its work is financial searches covering finance, control, treasury, tax and corporate development. Roles include chief financial officer, treasurer, chief accounting officer and controller. It also runs mid-senior, management and executive searches in areas such as investor relations, human resources, operations and marketing, for assignments with annual base compensation of $125,000 to $500,000.

Its historic sector focus is real estate, finance, technology and manufacturing, and it also serves construction, hospitality, professional services, government contracting, entertainment and media, and non-profit clients. It reports placing over 150 professionals at The Carlyle Group.
