In a significant move within the advisory sector, Consello announced the appointment of Lauren Argenti Rawlings as the new Head of Consello Talent in the United States. With her extensive experience in executive search and talent acquisition, Rawlings is set to expand Consello's capabilities in identifying and placing transformative leaders across various industries.

Background and Experience

Lauren Argenti Rawlings comes to Consello with a wealth of experience in executive recruitment.

Her leadership at Precita resulted in a robust client portfolio that included major companies like Google Cloud Platform, Sonos, Intuit, and Freddie Mac, demonstrating her ability to connect high-caliber talent with transformative organizational needs.

In 2022, Precita was acquired by ZRG Partners, a private equity-backed global talent advisory firm.

However, her entrepreneurial spirit led her to re-establish Precita in 2024, focusing on a curated selection of prestigious clients.

Prior to her ventures, Rawlings gained valuable experience at SPMB, a San Francisco-based firm, where she specialized in placing executives in VC-backed tech startups. Her career journey in executive recruiting began at Trewstar Corporate Board Services in New York. During her tenure, she played an instrumental role in placing over 40 women on high-profile corporate boards, an achievement that reflects her dedication to diversity and inclusion—a value that resonates strongly with the mission of Precita.

Declan Kelly, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Consello, highlighted Rawlings's deep expertise and extensive network as tremendous assets for the firm. He expressed confidence in her ability to drive growth in the talent division and expand Consello's executive search capabilities. Kelly emphasized that Rawlings's leadership aligns with Consello's commitment to thoroughly understanding client needs while maintaining the same level of diligence that has defined the firm's operations.

In her own words, Rawlings expressed enthusiasm about her new role at Consello. She remarked, "Consello sits at the intersection of leadership, innovation, and capital, providing us with unparalleled insights into what transformative talent looks like today. I am excited to be part of this world-class team and to create a business model that aligns visionary organizations with exceptional leaders."
