We deliver leaders worth following.

As fellow Whitefield parents, my wife Jamie and I are grateful for the Christ-centered community we get to experience together. Our daughter Ella graduated in 2022 and is a junior at Auburn, and our son Luke is a sophomore enjoying his time on the golf team. Whitefield has been an incredible blessing to our family.

Our commitment to the school mission runs deep, and I’m thankful that Handler shares those same values in how we serve leaders and organizations. If you are in a job search, I’d be happy to make introductions within the Atlanta community. And if you’re looking to hire a key leader, I’d love to talk about how Handler supports that process with excellence and care.

Best regards.
Eric Handler

We believe vision is accomplished through leadership. That’s why my team is passionate about searching for those leaders worth following, and making the hiring process personal.

The market has certainly changed, but the way we do business has not. It’s about people.

I value relationships and getting to know others. I would love to connect with other Whitefield parents and see how I can help you accomplish your goals.
