Deborah Wenning approaches every search as a direct extension of the organization she is working with. Clients and candidates alike receive her full attention and comprehension, because she understands what the right fit actually makes possible: talent performing at its potential, faster results, and a stronger, more collaborative culture.

Her work spans the full breadth of hospitality and leisure — hotels and resorts, private clubs, gaming, cruise lines, and restaurant groups from established portfolios to emerging concepts — on both retained and contingency engagements. She recruits at every level, from key operational roles to executive and C-suite leadership, with the same rigor and commitment at each.

Based in New York, Deborah works across the United States, North America, and the Caribbean, with executive and C-suite search experience extending into EMEA.

Earlier in her career, Deborah built a consulting firm in Italy supporting small luxury goods producers seeking entry into the US market. That work sharpened her instincts for business culture, cross-market dynamics, and the bridges between them — perspective she brings directly into every search engagement today.

For Deborah, a search is never only about filling a position. It is a commitment to place professionals who strengthen a business and move it forward, while simultaneously advancing the hospitality professional's career. That is the work I care about, and the standard I bring to every client.
