Ted Fletcher is the Founder of The Sterling Executive Partnership. Prior to opening the business, he spent 10+ years in agency recruiting, partnering very closely with industry-leading clients in Aerospace & Defense, Material Handling, Heavy Equipment, and Consumer Goods Manufacturing. He has spearheaded and managed the process end to end and walked with clients and candidates, ensuring quality and mutual alignment every step of the way.​
We have placed everyone from President to Individual Contributor, and executed searches for Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, Business Development, Engineering, Human Resources, and Finance.
Having worked previously as an instructor of English and a Music Director, Ted brought his life experience and knowledge of people into the process-driven world of recruiting and discovered that a genuine care for people, the possession of perpetual curiosity, and an insistence on highly ethical behavior resulted in extraordinary rapport, repeat business, tremendous professional effectiveness, and personal satisfaction.
The Sterling Executive Partnership was born out of the belief that healthy business grows from truly partnering with clients, candidates, and internal stake-holders.
While he works with clients nationally, he, his family, and The Sterling Executive Partnership team are based out of Williamsburg, Virginia.
