He recently provided critical help to us in identifying senior executives for service on the overseas schools advisory council of the U.S. Department of State. The council, composed of senior executives from prominent u.s. businesses with overseas operations, provides advice and assistance to the department to enhance the educational programs of 200 american overseas schools. These institutions provide an american-style education to the children of overseas employees of U.S. corporations and the U.S. government.

In no time at all, he introduced us to a candidate with exceptional credentials for council membership and offered to continue to assist in finding other senior executives for council service who can make a difference.

"In mid 2001, the women's center contacted Carzo Associates, L.L.C. asking for assistance in finding and hiring a chief operating officer to run the day-to-day operations of the center. Because we were limited by the compensation we could offer the candidates, we were amazed and delighted by the intelligence, awareness, and ingenuity of the women frank introduced to us. There were a number of attributes that we were looking for in a COO for this private, non-profit firm, and we knew he "had it right" when we talked to the very first candidate - the one, by the way, whom we ultimately hired. Frank and his staff proved to be thorough, intuitive, and creative in their approach to solving our hiring need."
