At Ignition Executive Search, we lead senior level bank and financial institution searches for our clients and help candidates find the right company and career fit. We are currently working with client companies in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. It's been my experience that ads, job boards or agencies which advertise on them tend to yield the best of the unemployed, the best of the unhappy and the best of the unqualified. The individual you'd love to have on board, the winner, the accomplisher, the high achiever isn't reading ads on job boards or registering with employment agencies. They ARE available... if approached in a confidential and proper way by our company.

 

Joel spent 12 years at Wells Fargo Bank as a senior executive before starting Ignition Executive Search. He managed over 400 employees and $1B+ in assets before he decided that he lost his passion working for a "big bank".  He started Ignition Executive Search in 2014 because he is passionate about helping others.   He has developed outstanding relationships with close to 60 community banks in the Midwest and is connected to all the top leaders and lenders in the Metro Minnesota market.

 

Joel is a father to five kids, including 8-year-old triplets.  He is also a volunteer firefighter for the Saint Michael/Albertville community.
