The O’Connor Group, a leading HR outsourcing and recruitment firm, today announced the launch of 57th Street Partners, a boutique executive search firm designed to connect top-level executives with transformative opportunities to drive innovation in the life sciences, technology, energy, and professional services industries.

The boutique firm connects both full-time and fractional leaders with organizations seeking strategic leadership and innovation across specialized sectors.

As CEO and founder of The O’Connor Group, Marcia Zaruba O’Connor envisioned a dedicated practice built on earned trust and strategic insight, combined with a deep understanding of specialized industries and the distinct C-suite talent needed to shape an organization’s future. Through an approach that goes beyond transactional recruitment, 57th Street Partners aims to build relationships that enable exceptional leaders to drive meaningful change.

“The name 57th Street Partners stems from my dream as a kid to one day own a beach house in Sea Isle City, New Jersey – and I stayed focused on that goal until I made it a reality,” said O’Connor. “The relentless force of the ocean balanced with its natural rhythms continues to inspire our business today, as we’ve developed 57th Street Partners to bring clarity and connection to how we help build and lead organizations for maximum impact.”

Clients of 57th Street Partners benefit from market intelligence, tailored search methodologies, and extensive professional networks that support the following services:

  • Retained Executive Search – Tailored searches that align leadership talent with an organization’s culture, strategy, and long-term goals.
  • Request for Fractional Talent – Placement of experienced fractional executives to support organizations during urgent or specialized circumstances.
  • Request for Connection – An executive network enabling professionals to connect with peers, mentors, and industry leaders through curated groups.

In addition to O’Connor, the leadership team for 57th Street Partners includes Meghan Popoleo as President, Katie Perry as Vice President of Operations, Kat Kelly as Executive Search Lead, and Ashley Seiler as Senior Brand Manager.
