A Note from Craig Rickard

With over 17 years of experience in the search business, I have recruited for large public companies and small to mid-sized private businesses. I am a highly experienced search consultant with a specialty in supply chain and procurement organizations. I have a proven track record of delivering high quality candidates to clients across many different sectors. I have filled many niche, confidential positions and I’m regarded as an extremely professional recruiter operating with the highest level of integrity.

I’m married to my wonderful wife, Elizabeth, of 20 years. We have four sons (one in the U.S. Navy) and we live in the Houston area. I am passionate about forming strong and faithful youth in our community and we are active in our church. We enjoy, as a family, attending athletic events, camping, cooking, and traveling. I enjoy being a supportive husband, dad, and chauffeur - and I try to get to the tennis courts as often as I can.

Westcott & Washington is driven by my passion to connect top performers in roles where they can achieve both personal and professional success. We provide retained search and interim consultants for supply chain and procurement organizations to industries across the United States. 

I look forward to engaging with candidates and organizations that are serious about growing towards their potential.
