Our Expertise

Storbeck Search is honored to be recognized as a source for leadership for colleges, universities, independent schools, and nonprofits.

Shelly Weiss Storbeck founded the firm in 2007 to focus on executive search in the education sector, and from the start our partners and associates have formed strong relationships with educational institutions and related nonprofit organizations nationwide. 

In February 2020, Storbeck Search was acquired by The Diversified Search Group, thus deepening our networks while reinforcing our commitment to diversity and inclusion and our reputation for nimble, personalized service. The Diversified Search Group was ranked in the top 5 executive search firms by Forbes in 2020. 

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.
