Cultura Solutions - Team Growth

"Having worked with Michael before, I knew his diligent work ethic, commitment to putting people first, and ability to navigate ambiguity with poise aligned well with our firm,” says Lexy Johnson, Head of Practice Development.  “Michael has already been an incredibly quick study joining Cultura Solutions, as I anticipated he would be based on his innate ability to swiftly build quality relationships rooted in trust.  There is no better partner in the executive search business than someone who truly cares, listens, consults, and delivers - that is Michael.  I am overjoyed to have him here as we continue to intelligently grow and scale.”

Michael began his career at the largest organically grown technology search firm in the country where he quickly became one of the most trusted search consultants at the firm, successfully leading critical search engagements for the firm’s premier enterprise clients including Optum (UnitedHealth Group), Wells Fargo, Assurant, Delta, and others.

Michael was then hired into Optum Advisory Services, the second largest healthcare management consulting firm in the United States, elevating quickly to a Senior Consultant role, where he was involved in numerous consulting engagements spanning the healthcare landscape from digital product management to more functional payer, provider collaboration projects.

“Michael fits like a glove at this firm”, says Brian Peterson, Managing Partner.  “He is incredibly intelligent, has exceptionally strong business acumen, is highly consultative, well-demonstrated during his tenure with Optum Advisory Services, and aligns extremely well with our firm’s values and principles.  He approaches his search work with a detailed eye, and a highly relationship-driven mentality, and agrees vehemently with us that the search industry must be reformed.  We’re thrilled to have him on the team and are now even better-positioned to accomplish our firm goals.”
 

Cultura Solutions is being built on a foundational philosophy of focusing far less on the volume of business they bring into the firm, and instead, maintaining a laser-focus on search delivery excellence.  In an industry with an average search completion rate around 40%, Cultura Solutions has maintained a 100% search completion ratio since the day the doors opened.  This differentiation allows for a more human approach to the work they do, and speaks to the firm’s core value of “People over Profits”.

“I am very excited to be joining this top-notch firm,” said Mr. Tebon. “I have witnessed firsthand the downfalls of the recruiting landscape and it desperately needs to change for all constituents involved.  After meeting with Brian and Lexy, I was truly impressed by their passion and how they seek to disrupt the search industry.  I am humbled to serve Cultura Solutions as Principal Delivery Manager, contributing to our mission of becoming the most trusted search partner in the Twin Cities."
