Who we are
Ryan Harbour - President and CEO
Throughout my career — from building and leading sales, marketing, and partnership teams with organizations like the PGA TOUR and Club Car, to working directly with executives and operators across the golf and hospitality industries — one thing has always stood out to me: the profound impact a single individual can have on an entire organization.
I’ve seen what happens when the right person is in the right role — how clarity, confidence, and culture can shift almost overnight. And I’ve also seen the opposite: talented people whose abilities went unnoticed or underutilized, and organizations that settled for convenience when they needed excellence. Those experiences stayed with me.
In today’s market, where employees come and go more frequently than ever and open positions seem constant, companies are flooded with applicants but starved for time. The volume alone makes it nearly impossible to give every candidate the attention they deserve — and as a result, the best fits are often buried in the noise.
I founded Harbour Search Group to close that gap. To help organizations find leaders who elevate performance, culture, and long-term growth — and to help talented individuals find environments where they can thrive. The firm was built on a simple idea: to make sure great people aren’t overlooked, and great companies don’t settle when they don’t have to.
Marcy Harbour - EVP Growth & Client Experience
Before helping to found Harbour Search Group, my career took me through hospitality, administration, and nonprofit work — all places where people and relationships come first. I’ve always been fueled by connection — learning people’s stories, understanding what motivates them, and bringing energy and optimism into every conversation.
Motherhood to the two most amazing boys in the whole entire world, has only deepened that instinct. It’s taught me patience, perspective, and the ability to find calm (and humor) in the chaos. It’s also made me sharper — a better listener, a better planner, and someone who knows how to balance empathy with action. Those same qualities guide my work every day, helping clients and candidates feel understood, cared for, and confident throughout the search process.
At my core, I love people — their energy, their quirks, their goals — and I love helping them find places where they can truly thrive. That’s what drives me here at Harbour Search Group: creating meaningful connections that move both people and organizations forward, with warmth, care, and just the right amount of contagious enthusiasm.
