Chief People Officer
“Process was thoughtful, smooth, and comprehensive. Every candidate was treated with respect… we came out of the process not only with a good candidate, but also looking good with the candidates that were not chosen.”
Lee Bodner
President, New Venture Fund Board Chair, Windward Fund
Senior Vice President
“Sneha has a rare ability to deeply understand the profile of a position, and strong intuition in sourcing diverse talent that could succeed. She’s incredibly effective and strategic in managing the hiring process and anticipates challenges and opportunities.”
Chris Hobbs
COO, Global Health Visions
Managing Director
“I cannot recommend Sneha highly enough. I had worked with a range of search consultants, including much larger firms…I really prefer someone who has a smaller client roster and who can really give me personalized, devoted attention.”
Jessica Love
Sr. Managing Director, Arabella
Inaugural President
“The thing that stood out was the way you talked about diversity in your searches. The candidate pool was rich… we had over 900 applications and they were quality candidates. We had some really talented people come to the table.”
Tiffani Bibb
Chief People & Culture Officer, Saga Education
President
“You were a fabulous partner…I appreciated the professionalism, the grace with which you conducted the search and partnered with us.”
Bruce Boyd

Executive Director
“We are mindful of every dollar and wondered if we could afford to hire Maneva Group. But now that we’re done, we really couldn’t afford not to for our inaugural Executive Director. You posed key questions to our board and founders, forcing the right conversations. And we had a great selection of A-list candidates. You were invaluable.”
Tom Hulsebosch
Board of Directors, Boxing Out Negativity
Chief Executive Officer
“You put together amazing candidates. We met a lot of larger firms…but the size of your firm quickly became a bonus because we worked with the A-team. We got candidates within weeks and finished the process in two months. We found a candidate we love and are excited for the new CEO to get started.”
