Shelly Weiss Storbeck founded the firm in 2007 to focus on executive search in the education sector, and from the start our consultants have formed strong relationships with educational institutions and related nonprofit organizations nationwide.
Storbeck Search is part of the Diversified Search Group (DSG), which is leading the shift to redefine success in executive search by building a more innovative and diverse business model. We are different – and always have been. Our life’s work has been to diversify leadership across all industries and sectors.

DSG has been recognized by Forbes magazine as a top-five search firm and the fastest-growing company in the executive search sector. We’re also the official U.S. partner of AltoPartners, the premier alliance of international executive search firms, with offices in more than 30 countries around the world. We will help you forge a new path and cultivate new leadership for your changing world.
At Storbeck Search, being part of the Diversified Search Group translates into broadened and expanding networks while reinforcing our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and our reputation for nimble, personalized service.
Whether your institution is a college or university, an independent or charter school, or a nonprofit, we bring unmatched focus and dedication to your search.
In addition to our comprehensive search services, we offer coaching services, including leadership assessment tools and personalized support for long-term individual and team success, and strategy, change management, and DEI consulting for independent schools.
