DRi works with and for the non-profit sector because we believe in the important work done everyday by the sector's extraordinary institutions.

Nancy Racette is the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of DRi. Driven by the belief that every person can have a fundamental impact on the world, Nancy spent decades designing innovative.
Executive search is one of DRi's primary services. We have led more than 700 searches for a wide range of regional, national, and international non-profits.

DRi can begin leading at any point in an executive search. Our clients may still be deciding how to divide responsibilities across new positions or they may be rethinking search strategy after a few weeks of advertising. No matter where you are in the process, our goal is the same: to align hiring with every element of our clients' strategic plans.
