Talentfoot Executive Search is pleased to announce the addition of Kevin Traynor as Senior Partner. Kevin brings more than 15 years of executive search experience and will focus on guiding CFOs, CHROs, and executive leadership teams through high-impact accounting, finance, and human resources hires.
Throughout his career, Kevin has led recruiting strategies and built high-performing teams, partnering closely with finance and HR leaders on complex, mission-critical hiring decisions. He specializes in accounting and finance leadership search, supporting organizations in the hiring of Controllers, Vice Presidents of Finance, CFOs, and senior accounting professionals. He has also worked extensively on senior HR placements, roles where alignment, leadership judgment, and stakeholder trust are essential.
Kevin’s work is often focused on growth, transformation, and succession-driven hiring within private equity-backed and founder-led organizations, environments where clarity is critical and the cost of a mis-hire is high. Over the course of his career, he has completed more than 700 placements. As a people leader, Kevin has driven record-setting performance and ranked among the top one percent of producers in his practice group. Clients describe Kevin as disciplined, steady, and rigorous, a partner who brings clear perspective when decisions matter most.
“Kevin’s expertise directly strengthens Talentfoot’s Accounting & Finance practice and our focus on delivering future-ready financial leadership,” said Camille Fetter, Founder & CEO of Talentfoot. “Our clients rely on us to deliver leaders who drive efficiency, profitability, and adaptability, and Kevin brings the judgment and operating maturity required to identify executives who can succeed in today’s complex, technology-enabled finance organizations. His approach to search is not just about filling a role. It is about ensuring long-term business health and scalability.”
For Kevin, the work is rooted in a simple philosophy: “Practice makes permanent, and how you do anything is how you do everything,” he says. “I’ve watched the impact a single leadership decision can have on a company’s direction. My goal is to help clients approach these moments with clarity and confidence.”
Why This Matters
Kevin’s addition to Talentfoot reinforces our commitment to thoughtful, high-impact leadership search, particularly in environments where the margin for error is small and expectations for execution are high. His deep experience with private equity-backed and founder-led organizations strengthens our ability to guide clients through critical moments of growth, transformation, and succession, ensuring leadership decisions are made with rigor, accountability, and long-term value creation in mind.
