A Recruiting Journey in Transportation

​

Andrew Stahl, Founder and CEO, embarked on an unconventional path to becoming a leader in executive recruitment for the transportation industry. While his early academic pursuits at the University of Oregon focused on violin performance and later economics—culminating in a master's thesis on Amtrak—his career trajectory took a pivotal turn towards the dynamic world of recruitment.

​

After post-graduate work in California developing financial derivative contracts and a move to Chicago, Andrew found himself drawn to the rail industry. Rather than entering it directly, he strategically chose to become an Executive Recruiter. This decision proved to be a defining moment, allowing him to leverage his analytical skills and keen interest in transportation to identify top talent for the sector.

This led him to establish his own agency, aiming to leave an individualized, positive mark on the rapidly evolving transportation landscape. His unique background, including prior work in the auto industry, continues to fuel his passion for all things automotive, from racing to restoration, complementing his dedication to recruiting the best for the industry he serves.
