About Us
The Free Agent is an executive search and management consulting firm that works exclusively with high-growth organizations who understand a strong leadership team is the cornerstone to their continued growth.
Our focus areas span the Sales, Marketing, Technology, Product, Operations, and Finance silos, providing executive leadership on a full-time, interim, or fractional basis. We work from middle management up to the C-Suite.
Our Focus Areas
Sales
Meet and exceed growth initiatives with a seasoned EVP of Sales (CRO) that can assist with strategy, operations, and execution.
Marketing
Overcome marketing challenges
with executive-level experts that
can provide global support, project
oversight, and even help roll out new
Technology
Overcome technology challenges with
CIO/CTO/CISO talent to help bridge
gaps, provide project oversight, and
architect as needed.
Finance
Parachute in a CFO or “Super Controller”,
pre or post acquisition, to help ensure
clean financials by enhancing the
finance and accounting function(s) for
a PE firm or other acquirer.
Our Process
Marketing
Help validate and realize your company’s strategic vision through the use of product experts with deep and demonstrable product experience.
Our Engagement Model
We typically work on a “retained” basis for all C-Level placements, a “contained” basis for non- C-level placements (Director and Vice President) and a “contingent” model for middle management.
Additionally, we offer “Management Consulting” (Fractional or Full-Time) for those companies that may not need a full-time resource, but more so looking to stand up a new initiative, reduce costs, or add some executive horsepower.

I’ve worked with many executive headhunters over the years – some not so great, and some spectacular ones. Beau Billington and team fall into the latter. After only one meeting reviewing our needs for our very niche, executive role, Beau submitted several qualified candidates that hit the mark in all key areas; in fact, the quality and fit were so spot on, it made my hiring decision that much harder deciding which candidate to select.

Mis-fit hires.
They look great on paper...
They may even be perfect for another type of team, but once they’re in the mix and friction starts, the costs can be devastating – putting your brand or product at risk, delaying your goals, and even pushing great team members away.
The clues of a mis-fit hire can be nuanced and easily missed if sizing up talent isn’t what you do all day every day.
The experience and attention that goes into every candidate search and vetting process results in curating top-tier leaders who generate real change in a short time.
