Jake Hooper

Since joining the firm in 2021, Jake has honed his research skills across the gamut of CarterBaldwin searches, including both corporate and nonprofit. Before entering executive search, Jake spearheaded organizational effectiveness initiatives and new business opportunities for several small businesses and nonprofit organizations, including his alma mater, Corban University. Jake enjoys learning about each new role and organization with an eye towards delivering the best solution for our clients. He is motivated by a persistent desire to actively make a difference in the world.

Born and raised in southern California, Jake earned his BS in Business Administration from Corban University in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where he was active in student governance and resident life, and met his wife of three years, Abbie, a recent graduate of Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health.

Outside of work you can find Jake cooking, reading, listening to podcasts, or enjoying nature. He spends as much time as possible watching sports, especially motorsports and his beloved Los Angeles Dodgers. He and Abbie are active in their church in southwest Atlanta and actively serve with a community-based nonprofit in the area.
