Alex Correa Executive
A collective of passionate individuals committed to developing talent,
inspiring success
and shaping remarkable careers.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years
since the birth of Alex Correa Executive, and what started as a plan to avoid another employer name on my CV, turned out to be so much more. I’ve always loved being the career advisor, the sounding board and only on the very rare occasion does it even remotely feel like work.
In the 10 years since we started, over 4000 professionals
have chosen to work with us. Inbound, outbound and within SEQ the career drivers have been mixed, and just as unique as those individuals making them. There have been moves in search of greater professional challenges and fulfilment; some motivated by family; and in most cases, in search of something more. From the aspiring lawyers starting out with dreams of making their mark, to the accomplished, it’s been a real joy to witness such remarkable careers
unfolding before us.
It’s been in partnering with some truly exciting, innovative
and dynamic
firms that have made us who we are. We’ve represented some of Australia’s best law firms through to solo lawpreneurs, trailblazers and everything in between. Their wins have been our wins and we’ve been proud to call them our clients.
Our networks have grown and expanded outside of the law firms that gave us our start. We’ve sourced the GC’s for greenfields and then supported them as their legal teams take shape.
Not that I ever really played team sports, but a quote by Thomas Wolfe, “we are the sum of all our parts” could not have been truer for me. Our team at Alex Correa Executive past and present is represented by people with a shared passion for helping others achieve their best. I’m so grateful to those who have chosen to invest their careers with ACE, placing their imprint and sharing the vision. The memories made, relationships formed, their support, hard work, the laughs (there have been many!) and dedication in helping us achieve so much is something pretty special.
So what’s next for Alex Correa Executive? I can’t say too much, but I can tell you this… There is lots to come.
