KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — The O’Connor Group is expanding its footprint in the executive talent space with the launch of 57th Street Partners, a boutique executive search firm designed to place top-tier leaders in roles that can reshape organizations across the life sciences, technology, energy and professional services sectors.
The new firm operates as a specialized offshoot of The O’Connor Group, an HR outsourcing and recruitment company, and is built around a relationship-driven model that prioritizes long-term impact over transactional hiring. Company officials said the goal is to connect C-suite and senior executives with organizations seeking leadership capable of driving innovation and meaningful change.
Marcia Zaruba O’Connor, founder and chief executive officer of The O’Connor Group, said 57th Street Partners was conceived to reflect decades of earned trust, market insight and deep industry understanding.
“The relentless force of the ocean balanced with its natural rhythms continues to inspire our business today, as we’ve developed 57th Street Partners to bring clarity and connection to how we help build and lead organizations for maximum impact,” O’Connor said.
The firm’s name traces back to a personal milestone for O’Connor, referencing her longtime goal of owning a beach house on 57th Street in Sea Isle City, New Jersey — a symbol she says reflects focus, perseverance and vision.
57th Street Partners will offer a suite of services anchored in retained executive search, placing senior leaders aligned with an organization’s culture, strategy and growth objectives. The firm will also provide access to fractional executive talent for organizations navigating urgent or specialized challenges, as well as curated executive networks designed to foster peer connection, mentorship and collaboration.
The leadership team includes Meghan Popoleo as president, Katie Perry as vice president of operations, Kat Kelly as executive search lead, and Ashley Seiler as senior brand manager.
Company leaders said the launch positions 57th Street Partners to serve organizations seeking not just executive placement, but leadership partnerships capable of shaping the next phase of growth in highly specialized and competitive industries.
