Herbert Mines Associates was founded in 1978 by Herb Mines. Herb had one goal: create the premier executive search firm for retail and consumer businesses worldwide. Hal Reiter, who joined the firm in 1993 as President, was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1998. Over the past 25 years, Hal has solidified Herbert Mines Associates as the premier executive search brand by artfully evolving and expanding our practice into omni-channel, direct-to-consumer, digital, consumer products, hospitality and leisure sectors for publicly-traded, private equity backed, founder-owned and privately-held businesses and brands worth $10 million to $50 billion. Having completed over 2,600 searches over Hal’s tenure, we hold the distinction of being the number one search firm exclusively focused on retail and consumer companies and are ranked one of the top 15 search firms in the Americas.
