Company Description
Pearl Street Collective is a purpose-driven executive search firm serving mission-based organizations, with a particular emphasis on higher education, healthcare, and the broader nonprofit sector. Co-founded in 2019 by Maeve Clifford and Adele Mezher, the firm has become known for a human-centered, disciplined approach to search that connects leaders to roles aligned with their purpose so organizations can thrive. In December 2025, Pearl Street joined the Lindauer family, forming a partnership that expands flexible executive recruiting and talent management solutions for nonprofits and strengthens support across a wide range of leadership functions. Pearl Street’s work spans advancement, fundraising, and institutional leadership, evidenced by recent placements such as the Director of Leadership Giving at Northeastern University and the Associate Vice President, Foundation Relations at Boston Children’s Hospital Trust. The firm’s client community includes leading universities and independent schools (MIT, Wharton, Rutgers, Tufts, La Salle, Northeastern, Rochester Institute of Technology, Milton Academy, Carroll School), academic medicine and research organizations and hospitals (Boston Children’s Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), and prominent nonprofits across arts and culture, civil liberties, youth development, conservation, and social impact (ACLU, Boston Ballet, Girl Scouts, Social Finance, American Ancestors, Treehouse, Emancipet, SquashBusters, Wilmington Alliance, The Valerie Fund, GoFarm). Recognized by Hunt Scanlon among America’s Best Recruiters and as a Top 50 Higher Education and Top 65 Nonprofit recruiter, and honored as a Women of Color Top Search Firm, Pearl Street embeds equity, inclusion, and authenticity into every stage of its rigorously run, transparent process. Partnering closely with boards and leadership teams, the firm designs tailored search strategies, conducts comprehensive market outreach and candidate assessment, and supports onboarding to ensure enduring leadership transitions. Through this values-led model and expanded capabilities with Lindauer, Pearl Street helps organizations align people, culture, and mission to accelerate impact.
