Hanold Associates

News releasing today, our team is joining Creative Artists Agency. Here is to our next chapter with CAA.

CAA Buys Executive Search Firm Hanold Associates to Bolster Division The major talent agency has acquired a Chicago-based firm that specializes in recruiting human resources executives.

August celebrates National Dog Month and National Wellness Month. At Hanold Associates, we recognize how our furry friends play a big part in our happiness and health.

As we mark National Dog and Wellness Month, we appreciate the joy our dogs bring and how they encourage us to live healthier lives. Whether it’s through a playful romp in the park or a peaceful evening together, our dogs remind us of the importance of both physical and emotional well-being. Their unconditional love reminds us to take care of ourselves, just as we care for them. This month, embrace the simple moments—whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just spending time together. Let your dog inspire you to live a healthier, happier life.

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest members of the Hanold Associates family!

Lisa Yae’s daughter Madeleine; Sarah Kennedy-Sulahry’s son JJ; and Katrina Maione’s son Aurelio and daughter Oriana.

We’re incredibly proud of these outstanding Mothers and Hanold partners!

“This week kicks off Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) heritage month and I’m grateful for the progress made in bringing awareness to (and advancing education around) the diversity of the AAPI diaspora in the workplace. Used to being “the only” in the room, I’m proud to work at a diverse firm with strong AAPI representation.

Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come in the last 20 years, but also recognize the continued importance of allyship, advocacy and action as discrimination is still very much a part of the AAPI experience.”

Happy Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day! March is a time to honor the remarkable achievements and contributions of women throughout history. It’s also a time to reflect on the progress made and the opportunities that lie ahead for women everywhere.

Today, more than ever, women are breaking barriers and making their mark in every field imaginable. From science to sports, from politics to the arts, women are leading, innovating, and inspiring change. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let’s not only recognize the accomplishments of the past but also look forward to a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive, succeed, and make history. Here’s to strong women everywhere! May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.

At Hanold Associates, we asked Managing Partners Neela Seenandan, Lisa (Butkus) Yae and Pamela Culpepper: What is the biggest opportunity for the generation of women behind you?

Today we celebrate an extraordinary civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr, whose tireless efforts for equality continues to inspire us. Dr. King's unwavering dedication and belief in the power of love, compassion, and nonviolence left an indelible mark on the world. His historic "I Have a Dream" speech still resonates with hope and unity today. At Hanold Associates, we consider this a day of service, a day on not a day off, to honor his legacy. Our behavioral charter is to “see others, and lift them”, as we try to do our part in continuing the unfinished work of this remarkable leader.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
