Sports Group International, a leading executive search firm serving the sports industry, has hired Julie Yochim as an executive recruiter. The hire marks the third addition to the SGI Executive Search team this year.
“I am very excited to join SGI and help identify and connect talented professionals with companies”, Yochim said. “I also like the SGI approach with clients and candidates which is to ‘first understand what is important to both before advising’. SGI has been at the top of the executive search field in all facets of sporting goods, technical apparel, footwear, and accessories for almost 25 years. They have a model that resonates with clients who are growing companies and individuals who are looking to advance their careers.”
“Julie Yochim is a great addition to the SGI team of executive recruiters. She has spent the past 15 years in the sporting goods industry. She worked in apparel product management at adidas for 6 years and knows firsthand the challenges of bringing successful products to the marketplace. For the past 9 years, she was the research manager for search synergy, inc., an executive search firm in Portland serving the footwear industry. There, she helped build one of the most effective candidate research platforms in the sporting goods talent pool. Adding Julie to the SGI team will enhance our ability to identify and recruit the best candidates faster and more effectively. We are very excited to have Julie join the team,” said SGI President Joe White.
