Our People

We come from both sides of the business: HR and Recruiting, but also Product and Brand. We’re outsiders who are also insiders.

Eric Puestow

Founder & Principal 

Eric has held leadership roles in Human Resources at Tommy Hilfiger, Karl Lagerfeld, Abercrombie & Fitch, Nike, and Urban Outfitters. From there, he became a partner in Joe’s Blackbook, specializing in executive search for brands such as Diane von Furstenberg, J.Crew, Nordstrom, LVMH, Kate Spade, Band of Outsiders, and Stitch Fix.

His propensity for creating new fashion leaders propelled him to an adjunct faculty role at Otis College of Art & Design, where he has also served as a guest lecturer and ambassador to the Otis Fashion Department.
