ST. LOUIS (Oct. 14, 2025) – Leading talent advisory firm DHR Global announces the promotion of Stacy Donohue to Partner in the firm’s Private Equity Practice. Based in St. Louis, Donohue specializes in C-suite, board, and vice president-level executive searches for portfolio companies backed by top-tier private equity firms. Her work spans a wide range of sectors – including consumer, industrial, technology, and business services – with a focus on identifying strategic and operational leaders who drive growth.
Donohue began her DHR career as a Senior Consultant in 1996. After transitioning to information technology consulting in San Francisco for six years and taking time away to focus on her family, she rejoined DHR in 2014. Since then, she’s become a trusted adviser to investors and portfolio company executives, known for her precision in search execution, long-term client relationships, and commitment to delivery excellence.
“We’re thrilled to see Stacy – who’s been a key member of our practice for the past decade – advance to Partner,” said Keith Giarman, Managing Partner, of DHR’s Global Private Equity Practice. “She’s developed into a superb talent adviser by working on board and C-suite assignments, where our investor partners expect rapid, high-quality surgical execution under aggressive pressure. I’m honored to be part of her professional journey.”
Donohue added, “I’m grateful for the opportunity to step into this role and continue building strong partnerships with our private equity clients and their portfolio companies. I’ve seen firsthand how critical leadership is to accelerating growth and value creation, and I look forward to helping our clients achieve their ambitious goals with the right executives in place.”
