Bell Oaks’ leadership team expands again by welcoming Barrett Coker Krise, CAP® as Partner. 

Bell Oaks Executive Search introduces its newest Partner, Barrett Coker Krise, in the firm’s continuing efforts to best support positive outcomes for clients and candidates. The Atlanta-based firm has over 50 years of experience in professional leadership recruitment, with a finely-tuned search process that combines cutting-edge technology with a powerful team to identify, attract, and hire top talent across the country and, in some cases, the globe.

Barrett is well known for her ability to connect people to the next steps toward their objectives. The Atlanta native joins the firm with more than 25 years in the field of social good, most recently with the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, where the crux of her work was connecting individuals and families to the issues that mattered most to them and maximizing their opportunities. As Bell Oaks’ driving force is connecting clients to the most qualified people to take their organization to the next level, joining the Bell Oaks team was the logical progression from her work in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors with diverse groups of people.

“I was drawn to Bell Oaks because of its people and process, which are unique in the recruiting field,” Barrett says. “When I met the team, I knew they were authentic and caring, which perfectly aligns with my background in mission-focused philanthropy.” 

Matt Tovrog, a Partner at the firm, says, “The team at Bell Oaks is thrilled to welcome Barrett on board as a Partner. Barrett brings a wealth of experience that will continue to grow Bell Oaks’ footprint, and her leadership style will strengthen our firm and our client partnerships.”
