We put the right people in the right environments with a disciplined, people-first approach that yields stronger outcomes and emotionally intelligent leaders who can navigate change with ease, ultimately championing an organization toward long-term achievement and impact.

Our Founder
Accessible, People-Centered Leadership.
With an extensive background in higher education administration, Kenny Daugherty transitioned from university leadership to executive search almost 20 years ago.
From roles in advancement, strategic planning, and enrollment management to housing and residential life, his first-hand knowledge of the academic landscape, combined with genuine relationship-building skills, serves as a guiding light for DSG clients.
I believe the business of executive search comes down to three things: exceptional experience, a proven process, and unparalleled access to top talent. Fortunately, we've got all three.
