Torch Group announces 30th Anniversary as a nationally-recognized Executive Search Firm.

Torch Group was founded by Ronald S. Torch in 1990 in Stamford, Connecticut and made its mark as a boutique executive search firm. The company began as a marketing consultancy that drew on Ron’s extensive experience as a brand manager and marketing strategist at Fortune 500 foodservice and packaged goods companies.

In the mid-1990s, Michele Torch joined as Executive Vice President and Chief Talent Officer. Michele’s human resources, organizational development and talent acquisition skills and experience at F500 consumer products companies contributed to creating Torch Group’s Signature Search ProcessTM and use of competency-based video behavioral interviews. These proprietary, proven techniques and processes have become staples in Torch Group’s arsenal of search strategies and methodologies that lead to accurate long-term placements.

Over the last 30 years, Torch Group has evolved into a consultative search firm and grew its practice to address marketing & sales functions and key industries within Michele and Ron’s realms of experience. Ron and Michele leveraged their combined marketing and sales knowledge and foodservice and consumer products contacts to jump-start the firm’s growth.

“This 30-year mark allows us a chance to celebrate our past, recognize our present and plan for the future. We’re reflecting on the then-and-now and it brings us joy to embark on such an important milestone as a boutique executive search firm.  I’m proud of our team and thankful for the opportunity to serve our clients by placing top talent for their organizations.”  – Ron Torch

Over the past five years, the company has grown over 200% and is a four-time recipient of the Weatherhead 100 award.  The Torch Group team consists of experienced executive search consultants who fully deliver the highest level of service to their clients and candidates.
