      Interesting story here. Dan grew up in the same small town of Walled Lake, MI. and played little league baseball together with MOVEMENT’s founding partner, Doug Scott. After high school, Dan went on to play professional baseball in the Boston Red Sox organization for 9 years while Doug quickly transitioned to Headhunting by day and beer league softball by night. After retiring from baseball, Dan finds his second calling as a top producer in the recruitment industry working for the likes of Kforce and most recently, Kelly Services in Grand Rapids, MI. They had not spoken to each other since that last out on a dusty ball field in high school over 35 years ago. After all of those years, social media reconnects them, and come to find out both have dedicated their life’s work to the business of headhunting but on parallel paths. When MVMT decided to expand into Grand Rapids, a reunion with Mr. Gabriele was a no-brainer. What a great addition Dan is to the team.

      Headhunter

      Here at MVMT, we embrace nepotism. Most of the folks in the firm have some kind of thread from the past that ties us together. Sometimes it translates to the hiring of a family member, other times it may be from a distant connection from years ago. Meet Jason Drake. He and Greg Giltner, Charleston’s Managing Director, tended bar together during their college days over 20 years ago and thankfully the two kept in touch. Jason was moving his family from Charlotte back home to Charleston and was looking for a career change after 23 years of success in the insurance and financial industry. Jason now is a Headhunter with MOVEMENT. He is a very mature and sophisticated businessman, exceptionally well-spoken, and super intelligent. The firm is lucky that Jason’s life journey has landed him here.
