"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Doug Cooney and Deerfield Associates for three critical positions here at St. Andrew’s School. Two years ago, we needed to find a chief advancement officer, and as a new head of school, Doug was my first call. We successfully completed that search and hired Ann Wardwell.

A year later, our current search for a CFO is coming to a close and I continue to be impressed by Doug’s, and his team’s, attention to detail in both getting to know his candidates, and making sure he understands the needs of his client. Doug remained at the ready as we communicated throughout the process, helping all participants feel informed and being certain that all questions and concerns were addressed.

Prior to our CFO search kicking off, I contacted Doug regarding the need for an interim CFO. Doug immediately thought of a past placement who he’d remained in close contact with and put me in touch with her. As a result of that introduction, I hired Maria Kimsey as interim CFO while our search for a full-time CFO search was underway. It speaks to Doug’s personable nature and his care for the people he’s placed that he has such a large network of highly qualified professionals to reach out to in times of need. Doug, and Deerfield Associates, will always be a part of our team."
