About

With over 60 years of collective experience, Jorgenson Pace is a premier executive search firm dedicated to understanding the unique needs of our clients and delivering customized solutions that drive impactful results. Founded on the strong foundations laid by former PHH Fantus colleagues Joan Jorgenson and John Lovorn, our firm builds on the legacy of Jorgenson Consulting and The PACE Group, both of which were leaders in the field for over 30 years.

Our Expertise and Proven History

At Jorgenson Pace, we pride ourselves on being a trusted partner in building successful teams that foster community growth and economic vitality. Here are some reasons why Jorgenson Pace is a recognized leader in the executive search industry.

Building Teams that Build Communities

Through the placement of top-tier executives in critical state, regional, and local positions, Jorgenson Pace has contributed to billions of dollars in capital expenditures and the creation of millions of well-paying jobs. We collaborate with leaders across both public and private sectors—including governors, mayors, and economic development organizations—to shape thriving economies. Our impact was honored in 2023 with the prestigious Chairman’s Award for Excellence in Economic Development, presented to Todd Jorgenson by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).

 Outstanding Client Service

Our approach goes beyond simply providing resumes; we form genuine partnerships with our clients. By deeply understanding their unique needs and vision, we identify candidates who are the perfect match for executive roles. Our commitment to delivering exceptional service ensures that every placement meets and exceeds client expectations. With unmatched professionalism and attention to detail, our team ensures the success of every hire.

 High-Touch Partnerships

We actively engage with outstanding candidates, including those not actively seeking new opportunities. Our team educates candidates about your community, organization, and position, ensuring they are the ideal cultural and strategic fit. Jorgenson Pace presents a carefully curated selection of top-tier candidates tailored to meet your specific needs.

Relationship-Driven Results

Our reputation is built on lasting, trust-based relationships with the communities we serve. We understand the long-term impact that each executive placement has on a community and approach every search with that responsibility in mind. This commitment to relationship-driven results has made us a trusted partner for organizations nationwide.

 National Reach

With offices in North Carolina, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Maryland, Jorgenson Pace maintains a strong national presence. Our broad geographic footprint enables us to stay connected with emerging trends in economic development, community needs, and nonprofit opportunities. This ensures we provide our clients with informed, up-to-date recommendations.

Jorgenson Pace is founded on three distinct principles:

Specialization

We are not a general practice firm. We specialize in non-profit, economic and community development organizations focused on growing local, regional and statewide economies. Our specific focus within these sectors has afforded us the insight needed to deliver executive talent that proves to be a true fit.

Network

Our private sector network includes real estate developers, bankers, lawyers, c-suite executives, site consultants and other established professionals within the fields of non-profit, economic and community development organizations. These relationships only reinforce our reputation.

Service

We are committed to fostering partnerships with clients that are designed to encourage long-term professional relationships. By incorporating an in-depth screening and research process, we ensure that the candidates we deliver represent the most qualified in their field.
