David M. Sobocinski
Dave Sobocinski is a Founding Partner of CarterBaldwin Executive Search. With almost thirty years in search, Dave has executed hundreds of searches across the US for CEO, C-suite, and other critically strategic executive roles. His clients have ranged from middle market PE investments to Fortune 500 companies primarily in the manufacturing and distribution arenas. These companies tend to be focused on transformational strategies and investments that require new leadership to guide them through their next stage of evolution, such as roll-ups, turn-arounds, or other major strategic initiatives.
With Dave’s leadership, CarterBaldwin has been named twice to the prestigious Inc. 500 list of fastest growing privately held companies, which has succeeded that with Hunt Scanlon’s annual recognition as a “Top 50” and a “PE Power 75” firm. As well, CarterBaldwin was named by Forbes as one of “America’s Best Executive Search Firms” multiple years in a row.
Before founding CarterBaldwin, Dave led a regional search firm to national prominence, expanding it throughout the Mid-Atlantic and New England markets. Prior to entering the executive search industry, Dave worked in a consumer products roll-up, where he had business development and sales responsibilities across the Southeast.
Dave earned his BS degree from James Madison University.
He is an active supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and Hire Heroes USA. He spends his personal time traveling and skiing with his wife and three active sons and has ambitions of beating his wife at tennis in the coming years.
