Small team, big results.
Mark Momongan
Founder
Mark approaches executive recruitment with the energy of an entrepreneur. In 2020, he founded Maple Hill Search Partners with a select group of real estate clients, sharing his vision of a boutique executive search firm that offered more nimble, focused and personalized services than larger shops.
Mark started his career as a capital raiser, cultivating $1 billion in growth capital for his clients. It was here that he first developed the entrepreneurial mindset that boutique firms provide a stronger value proposition, where focus, attention, trust and substance matter most, a mindset that would later evolve into his vision for the firm.
Mark holds a Bachelor’s degree from Georgetown and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
