Director

Christi Kretchmer is a Director in the Go-To-Market Practice at Bespoke Partners, where she partners with private equity firms, boards, and software company leadership teams to find and place the executive talent that drives growth and value creation. Her searches span senior GTM leaders across sales, marketing, customer success, and revenue operations, with particular depth in organizations navigating rapid scale, transformation, or leadership transition

Christi brings a data-driven lens to executive search, drawing on a background that spans AI-powered talent intelligence, leadership assessment, and advanced analytics. She spent several years as Principal at Censia, where she helped companies sharpen their approach to executive hiring through market intelligence and a more rigorous, objective framework for evaluating leadership. Earlier in her career, she supported executive search engagements at Morgan Samuels before getting her start in recruiting and account management at Genesis Industries.

Her work spans PE-backed, growth-stage, and public technology companies, with a consistent focus on helping clients navigate inflection points: accelerated growth, organizational scale, and leadership succession.
