Marty Padilla founded Marty Padilla and Associates in 2004 with a focus on quick-service and full-service restaurants. Before entering executive search, Marty led multiple departments in major Chicago-area hospitals, and that experience shaped the firm’s next chapter: a dedicated specialty in healthcare foodservice.

More than twenty years later, we place executive leaders in the foodservice industry in the areas of healthcare, senior living, higher education, and restaurants, while staying true to the industry where we began.

“Nothing is more rewarding to me than serving the foodservice industry,” Marty says. “These are some of the most passionate, dedicated professionals you’ll ever meet.”

Every search we take on is personal. Our relationships run deep, which means we can reach accomplished leaders who aren’t actively job hunting but are ready for the right opportunity.

We deliver, and we guarantee it: every placement is backed for a full year. Reach out today to get started.
