Client Testimonials
“I’ve known Tim Boerkoel for a long time and view him as a focused, intuitive, and strategic thought leader who has been an outstanding professional to partner with. His perspective of brands and businesses, spanning consumer, fashion, luxury, retail, and more, has proven to be beneficial to me during my career. Tim recruited me to my first COO position for a global publicly traded company and remained a key resource for me during my tenure. When I joined USPA Global to manage the multi-billion dollar U.S. Polo Assn. global sports brand, I sought his counsel and expertise to assist with evaluating the organization and had the opportunity to retain him for his executive search services as well. Tim’s collaborative and empathetic nature, combined with his awareness of industry trends, drive, and problem-solving capabilities has been immeasurably valuable to me for many years."
J. Michael Prince – President & CEO, USPA Global Licensing
“Tim and his team are extremely experienced in the industry and have a great understanding of how successful businesses are built, maintained, and what is necessary for them to thrive and grow. The Brownestone team invests time in understanding their clients' business and culture as they seek to find the right and most important resource: the people to improve results and ensure a positive experience.
Tim's and the Brownestone team's analysis with clients provides a much more thorough and comprehensive review than a cover letter, resume, and interview. They genuinely understand people as personal assets, what drives them, and what their qualitative and quantitative assets are. Then, they match them up to the responsibilities and projects where they can achieve their goals. ”Christopher Heyn – Board Member, brrr° and former President & CEO, Lion Brothers
“Tim is a longtime friend, advisor, and networker. I trust and value his industry insights and the relationships that he has built throughout the years. Working with him is always a lot of fun and he is an all-around great guy.”
Kendra Reichenau – CEO, Heartland America
