I’m Kristine Grisham Holliman, a seasoned Talent Acquisition and Executive Search professional with over two decades of experience helping individuals and organizations connect with purpose. I specialize in helping professionals master the art of the job search, offering insider insight, tailored strategy, and honest guidance to help candidates confidently navigate their careers and land roles that align with their values and strengths.

My journey began at Korn Ferry International, where I learned the craft of executive search. Since then, I’ve led recruiting and talent initiatives at organizations like Salesforce, Sony Electronics, Rakuten USA, and a number of fast-moving startups. Most recently, I served as Senior Talent Business Partner at Chorus Innovations, a mission-driven health tech company where I partnered closely with C-suite leaders to attract top-tier talent and build inclusive, high-performing teams.

Over the years, I’ve placed professionals across nearly every sector from entry-level to C-suite and co-founded Grisham Group Executive Search, where I led senior-level searches for clients including Hewlett-Packard, Chevron, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America. My experience spans technology, healthcare, finance, and more, always with a focus on authentic partnership, DEI-driven strategies, and long-term success.

Beyond recruiting, I’m passionate about giving back. I co-founded the Last Mile Foundation to support the college aspirations of underrepresented African American students, and I’ve served as a Girl Scout Leader and community volunteer with organizations such as St. Vincent de Paul of Alameda County and the 12 Days of Christmas (Oakland Chapter).

Whether you’re a candidate looking to make a bold next move or a company ready to build an exceptional team, I’d love to help you get there, with purpose and precision!
