Since 1997, Parker Remick has served and counselled software companies that envision, design, and build significant — sometimes historic — products. We are a 12-person international team of executive search professionals and researchers who have developed unmatched insights over many years and over assignments spanning 23 nations. As retained advisors, we tell the truth as we see it, and help clients and candidates make well-informed decisions.
Parker Remick’s Research, Project Management, and Support teams are comprised of scientific researchers, national debating champions, and other accomplished contributors — all of whom share our enthusiasm for challenging assignments and the opportunity to help build teams for world-changing companies.
Kevin Williamson
Partner
With over 18 years of dedicated service to software and hardware clients, few search counselors bring Kevin’s level of accumulated experience, wisdom, and English wit to the table.
Before founding the firm with Charlotte Remick (ret. 2001) near London in 1997, Kevin led the technology practice at FSS International, a global executive search firm. He chose the name “Parker” as a tribute to his grandparents.
Kevin continues to be a focused and active engagement leader, and in the past decade has repeatedly helped assemble management teams that have developed big, shockingly cool products.
Outside of work, Kevin serves on the regional Board of the American Red Cross, and volunteers for the Whatcom Humane Society. For fun, he watches and plays soccer, races roadbikes, DJs, and has even been seen at Burning Man.
He holds a BSc in Occupational Psychology from Plymouth University in the UK.
Robert Healy
Partner
Rob advises software clients on general management, engineering, UX and design, and product management leadership searches at major public software companies and small companies funded by the world’s top tech investors. He also manages the operations of the firm.
To better serve Parker Remick’s U.S. clients, Rob launched operations in the Americas and oversaw the firm’s relocation and growth to 12 people in the Seattle-Vancouver Area.
Prior to joining us in 2000, he ran a small interior design firm and later founded DecorMarket.com, which provided home furnishings consumers with product information that previously had been available to architects and designers only.
Rob earned a AB in Political Science/Theory from Kenyon College and a JD from Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology.
Brent Hurtig
Partner
