Connecting brands and transformational leaders through trusted relationships and candid counsel.
The Gallic Approach to Executive Search
Mary founded Gallic Search with a simple belief: exceptional leadership starts with genuine relationships and candid counsel. With more than 20 years of executive search experience, she brings a unique perspective shaped by her work at executive search firms and more than five years at Restaurant Brands International, where she led all senior leadership searches globally across Burger King, Popeyes, Tim Hortons, and Firehouse Subs.
Today, as Founder of Gallic Search, Mary partners directly with clients across the restaurant, hospitality, retail, CPG, luxury, and broader consumer sectors to navigate pivotal leadership decisions. She personally leads every engagement, developing a deep understanding of each organization's business, culture, and priorities—eliminating unnecessary complexity. By integrating market insight with a trusted network cultivated over two decades, Mary connects brands with executives who drive transformation while guiding top talent through career-defining transitions. This is the Gallic approach.
