Sarasota, FL – formerly Boston & Manhattan
Elizabeth Sheridan, founder of Philip Madison, has been building client relationships and recruiting internationally for over 20 years. The prior decade of functioning in sales and operations roles within the financial sector gave Elizabeth the solid business foundation that has helped shape her consultative approach. Her passion for sales and desire to work with start-up organizations led her to the recruiting world. Elizabeth founded Philip Madison in 2007 after earning the status of top producer in a Boston-based recruiting firm and again in New York City.
While focused very heavily within security for 20+ years, Elizabeth has built several practices along the way—within HR consulting, legal, manufacturing, IT contract staffing and various areas of financial services, including equity brokers and mortgage specialists.
