WALTHAM, Mass., October 5, 2020 – The Bowdoin Group, an executive search firm with deep expertise in leadership search and strategic company build-outs for high growth  organizations, announced the expansion of their core team with two new strategic hires, including the expansion of their research team and finance department in the last quarter.

Tracie-Jo (TJ) Crowthers joins The Bowdoin Group as a Consultant, bringing with her several years of experience leading client engagements and managing candidates through the recruitment process. She will be responsible for developing and building relationships with clients and candidates across our healthcare and technology verticals, managing them through the entire recruitment process. Prior to joining The Bowdoin Group, TJ served as an executive search consultant at Slone Partners, specializing in life sciences. She has also served as a senior recruiter at Scientific Search, a life sciences recruiting and staffing firm. She received her Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University-Camden.

Also joining the firm as a Consultant, Christine Lipowski brings significant expertise in executive search with several years of market research, search strategy, and candidate engagement experience. At The Bowdoin Group, Christine will also be responsible for client and candidate management, partnering with them through the full recruitment process.

Previously, Christine most recently served as a manager and Head of Research at Page Executive, the division of PageGroup focused on executive and C-level searches. While there, she worked with a lead consultant to develop their executive search business from scratch, building out a research team and infrastructure to support the business. Prior to that role, she started her recruitment career as a consultant, specializing in candidate management and recruitment of HR professionals, and received her Masters degree in International Business from EGADE Business School.

“We are thrilled to continue to grow The Bowdoin Group’s delivery arm with search professionals like TJ and Christine,” said Kara Barr, Vice President of Delivery at the Bowdoin Group. “They have incredible foundational and domain-relevant search experience and highlight our continued commitment to deliver exceptional work for our clients and candidates alike.” 

In addition to these two strategic hires, The Bowdoin Group also welcomed three new associates earlier this summer, including Amber Graves, Marcus Witherspoon, and Gabrielle Kontra, and a new staff accountant, Jessica Wright (MSA, MBA), to provide additional support to our finance team.

“We are fortunate to bring all of these new team members onboard at such a unique time in the world as we continue to support strong growth at The Bowdoin Group. Each individual is a great addition to the team and brings a perspective and set of skills that will help us continue our expansion across the life sciences, healthcare, and technology sectors,” said Dave Melville, CEO & Founder at The Bowdoin Group.

The Bowdoin Group’s vision in partnering with the world’s most innovative companies to fuel growth and create more connected ecosystems is furthered by the continued growth across our core vertical markets with the support that these six new hires bring to the firm.
