As CEO and cofounder of Furst Group and NuBrick Partners, Sherrie leads two top-tier firms that serve the country’s most influential healthcare organizations and Fortune 500 companies. Her companies are consistently ranked among the best executive search and leadership development firms in the nation by Modern Healthcare and Forbes — a testament to her visionary leadership, decades of listening deeply to leaders, and commitment to honest dialogue even when the stakes are high.

But Sherrie’s influence doesn’t stop in the executive suite and boardroom. A dynamic speaker and advocate for inclusive leadership, conflict competence, and workplace trust, she’s also the Amazon bestselling author of the Heaven’s Bell book series, written to open up one of life’s hardest conversations—grief—because she believes we grow stronger when we face, not avoid, the difficult topics. She holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business communication, serves on the board of a global search firm, sits on the Council of Americas for the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants, and is a proud member of CHIEF, the premier network for senior executive women.

From building leadership teams that transform organizations to writing stories that touch the soul, Sherrie’s work is driven by one mission: to help people strengthen their communication competence, reduce the tendency to take conflict personally, and navigate challenges with courage, clarity, and compassion.

Sherrie is currently preparing to publish her fourth book, Escaping the Workaround Bucket, a next-generation leadership fable built around her “three buckets” framework, designed to help early careerists recognize and escape the hidden traps that derail progress. It’s a call to action for becoming the kind of leader who solves problems head-on, invites feedback and hard conversations, and thrives in moments that others sidestep.
