This episode of Penn State Dickinson Law‘s Profiles in Leadership series features Brandon Biegenzahn, President of McDermott + Bull. He spearheads the strategic development of the firm’s executive search team, partnering with a diverse range of financial services firms, including investment banks, commercial banks, asset managers, and fintech companies.

A corporate attorney by trade, Mr. Biegenzahn has been a frequent guest lecturer on leadership and career development at the University of Michigan – Stephen M. Ross School of Business Executive MBA program and Penn State Dickinson Law.

He discussed the importance of relationships in business, his transition from law to recruiting financial executives, and his unique approach to finding the right fit for clients and candidates. He also shared insights on the “Clearing Conversation,” the benefits of hiring interim executives, and how his firm strategically deploys the Cessna CJ2 it owns. Our conversation also touched on AI’s impact on hiring, the Federal Trade Commission’s ban on non-competes, the challenges #DEI initiatives face, and the dynamics of international talent versus local markets.
