Sloan Klein brings a unique experience set to her career and executive coaching practice, having spent over two decades as an executive recruiter and coach advising senior level professionals and leaders in investment management and private equity on career and talent development.
Sloan co-founded Sextant Search Partners, a successful financial services search firm with offices in New York and San Francisco. For ten years she recruited leaders in the fields of investment management and private equity. Sloan worked closely with management making the leadership and talent decisions as well as with the candidates being considered for selection. She led hundreds of searches helping to build teams and partnerships for a diverse roster of top tier clients.
After achieving her career dream of building a successful executive search firm, Sloan refocused her energy on the part of the business she enjoyed the most–helping people navigate career transition and talent development. For the past fifteen plus years Sloan has built a robust coaching practice that is differentiated by insight gained from years of experience building teams in investment management and private equity. She understands firsthand the priorities of the leaders making the hiring and business decisions. Sloan leverages this perspective in her career and executive coaching to help clients achieve success.
Within investment management, Sloan’s experience spans the functional areas of investments, research, fundraising and investor relations, marketing, operations, and general management. Her clients are leaders at family offices, investment management and private equity firms, endowments, foundations, and other allocator platforms.
Sloan is an alumni career resource for the Stanford Graduate School of Business in financial services. Additionally, as a certified Hogan coach, she is trained to administer and interpret their psychometric tests for talent assessment. Sloan has also completed co-active coach training with the Co-Active Training Institute.
Aside from coaching leaders, Sloan is an advisor to CoachSelect, a proprietary B2B and B2C coach matching platform. She is also an Honorary Director and former Board Chair of Compass Family Services, a nonprofit devoted to breaking the cycle of family homelessness in San Francisco, and a former Trustee of The Branson School.
