Guest Contributor for week of July 21 - Mo Hirche
Momentum Consulting Partners Inc.
I’m the Founder and Managing Director of Momentum Consulting, a boutique Executive Search and Talent Advisory firm. I help mid-market companies across North America—especially privately held, family-owned, and PE-backed businesses—attract, assess, and retain senior leadership talent.
Having worked for both global firms like Korn Ferry and smaller boutique search firms, I now have a clear perspective on what works - and what doesn't - in executive hiring. With Momentum, I’ve built something that feels right: right for me, right for my clients, and right for a modern business world that demands more transparency, efficiency, and human connection.
We offer fixed-fee retainers, real-time search dashboards, and data-driven candidate assessments—designed to give clients clarity and confidence in every step of the hiring process. My goal is simple: help growing businesses build leadership teams that drive real, lasting impact.

Why gratitude is important to me
Gratitude has become one of the most important tools in my life—especially during times of change and uncertainty. Moving from Germany to Canada, switching careers, and starting my own business… none of it was easy. There were moments when things felt overwhelming, but practicing gratitude—sometimes for something as small as a meaningful conversation or a quiet moment of clarity—has kept me grounded. People who know me for a long time, will mention how I show my gratefulness every single day.
It’s helped me reframe challenges as opportunities and find meaning in both the big milestones and the small, often overlooked moments. In my work, gratitude shows up in how I connect with people—whether I’m supporting someone through a career transition or helping a leadership team make an important hiring decision.
For me, gratitude isn’t about ignoring what’s hard. It’s about recognizing what’s good, even on the difficult days.
