History
The firm was founded in February 1986 by Henry G. “Hank” Higdon, who spent the previous 15 years with Russell Reynolds Associates, where he worked in New York for six years before establishing and building the firm's Houston office. Higdon then moved to Los Angeles to manage the firm's west coast operations that included offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Menlo Park. He also served on the firm's five-person Executive Committee. Higdon left Russell Reynolds to become Chairman and one of the founders of Higdon, Joys & Mingle, Inc., which evolved into Higdon Partners.
