After nearly 20 years at a major tech company, I hit a glass ceiling. Breaking into executive roles that matched my experience and goals required a new approach, so I turned to Jackson Stevens.With their expertise and network, I landed a Senior Executive role in Cybersecurity-a new industry for me-after negotiating multiple title options and a financial incentive plan directly with the CEO. I also received more high-caliber recruiter calls in one week than I had in the previous six months.Thanks to Dean and the Jackson Stevens team, I now have a clear long-term strategy and a network I couldn’t have built on my own. Dean is world-class and he always made himself available to guide through ever step of the process. If you’re a senior executive looking to level up, I highly recommend them.#careerstrategy #executivesearch #leadership #negotiation #careertransition #careermanagement

Working with Dean and his team has been an amazing experience. His insight and experience is so valuable and I found it instrumental from a developmental standpoint. Through my sessions with Dean I was able to take a step back to evaluate my career and create a path forward. I found my sessions with Dean almost therapeutic. I highly recommend Dean to anyone who is looking to evaluate their career aspirations and to identify the next step. Definitely 5/5 stars for me. I will definitely be reaching out to Dean again in the future.

If you’re in senior leadership, especially in billion-dollar companies, you don’t network to find a position. It simply doesn’t work. I engaged Jackson Stevens because of their reputation for getting senior executives connected in the private equity sector. I have worked with Dean Trimble for nearly a decade, and I have seen their system evolve into this incredible opportunity-generating machine. The level of detail and sophistication is well worth the investment, but better than that, Dean is reliable. You can trust everything he tells you is true, and that is rare. His system and strategy will get thousands of people who are actively recruiting for six and seven-figure roles to take e a look at you. I have completed 3 transitions with Jackson Stevens, and each time, the process was flawless, and even though I was coming back after years in between, I always felt like a brand new customer. The proof is in the outcome, and each time I worked with them, the outcome was beyond my expectations. I wholeheartedly endorse Jackson Stevens Global.

I can’t say enough great things about the experience I had working with Dean and the team. As a seasoned VP of Engineering, I wasn’t new to the job search, but the market was tough, and I wasn’t gaining the traction I knew I could.From day one, their process was strategic, insightful, and refreshingly personalized. They helped me refine my positioning and outreach approach, and the difference was immediate. I went from barely hearing back to juggling multiple high-level conversations, and ultimately landing a role with a company I’m truly excited about.Their support helped me stay clear, confident, and focused. For any executive who wants to get results and move forward with purpose. This is the team you want in your corner.Bill JonesVP of Engineering

Michael Belton
Working with Dean and his team was an absolute delight. With 24 years of experience at the same company, I was uncertain how to showcase my skills and navigate the job market, especially during a challenging economic climate. Dean provided invaluable guidance, blending traditional wisdom with cutting-edge technology to strategically position me in front of key decision-makers seeking top talent for their organizations. Throughout the negotiation process, Dean offered sound judgment and practical advice, ensuring a successful outcome in securing the offer that I accepted.

Working with Dean has been an eye opening experience that has allowed me to maximize not only my resume and LinkedIn page, but the way I think about my career as a whole. Whether you’re an executive in transition or one who hasn’t taken the time to upgrade their credentials you should reach out to Dean and his team, you will benefit tremendously from their help.
Christina Hernandez, MBA
Dean Trimble has been heaven sent. He is responsive and patient and an absolutely amazing resume writer. Because of his approach to resume writing (and my background and experience) I was able to land the job of my dreams. I had previously tried to just get my foot in the door with a resume that I had put together but I rarely, if ever even received a rejection notice. I cannot thank Dean and his team enough for all of their support. They are incredible.
Client Testimonials
Brent Furse | President & Chief Executive Officer, GeNO
“The first time The Medicines Company (~$1B) used Jackson Stevens was in 2013. Transitions were completed within 120 days. Now The Medicines Company uses Jackson Stevens exclusively for any high-level transitions as multiple subsequent senior executive transitions were effective and each was very complimentary of the service provided.”
Kevin Hornish, Senior Vice President, Talent Acquisition, QBE North America (Insurance Industry)
“Most accomplished executives don’t build their careers by honing their résumé writing, interview, and job-seeking skills; they do it by delivering results. If you want to be absolutely certain your outplaced executive is presented to the market in the best possible way, engage Jackson Stevens. They are absolute experts at crystallizing achievements with incredible detail from the 7 dimensions and getting candidates to the right people.”
Dr. Naoki Sawada, Assistant Professor (University of Chicago Medicine & Award-winning R&D Executive)
“It is difficult for non-medically trained people to grasp many of the scientific and the academic aspects during an interview. I was able to articulate my experiences in both arenas in such a way that employers could understand regardless of their background, and I have achieved great results.”
Joe Coffey, Vice President, Alere Inc. (Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry)
“Jackson Stevens has an arsenal of vast experience, and the team at Jackson Stevens are “wizards.” If you want to differentiate your candidates and make it easier for hiring executives and top-shelf recruiters to find them, Jackson Stevens and their executive job search coaching services are an essential part of your strategy. It is a good investment.”
Jason McCleish, Azure Cloud Senior Executive, Microsoft (Technology Industry)
“Jackson Stevens has been an incredible asset in many areas. They are experts in advanced résumé and LinkedIn strategies using the 7-dimensional construct. They have a charismatic approach to executive coaching and are the consummate professionals who know how to get C-Suite candidates in front of the executive search industry.”
Shaun Jacob, Chief Revenue Officer, Ortholive (Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry)
“We conducted exhaustive research and found that firms focused on resume, interview, and networking, not marketing. We chose Jackson Stevens and couldn’t have been more pleased with the final result. They have the same services as others, but also connect the candidate to top executive search firms, which shortened transitions. We give Jackson Stevens our highest recommendation!”
Jeff Sandbothe, Chief Executive Recruiter, GRN of Lake St. Louis
“I have had the pleasure of working with Dean on several executive searches, and he has done an impeccable job. The Jackson Stevens 7 Dimensions have been instrumental in allowing my executive candidates to fully understand and communicate the value they have delivered throughout their careers. By having a résumé that speaks to the client’s needs, I have a candidate that outshines the competition, allowing the discussion to move to matters of substance, and away from a “résumé review.” Dean’s résumé & candidate preparation, vast network of executives across industries, and executive search experience combine to create a significant value-add to the services I provide my clients and candidates. The proof is in the profit.”
Denis Bilodeau, Managing Partner, GRN Bridgewater | Healthcare
“I wish I would have had the good fortune of meeting Jackson Stevens about 10 years ago. The clarity and succinctness of the Jackson Stevens 7 Dimensions and how it conveys the quality and talent of candidates I submit to employers is unmatched. Employers find out up-front, before even meeting the candidate, that he/she can do the job and how well. That means more interviews, more placements, and more revenue. It’s refreshing to finally have met someone who writes résumés and presentations and who is also an expert on executive search. If you are an executive or leadership candidate reading this and need a referral, please contact me. I will be happy to connect you.”
