Aaron Azpiazu is an Associate Director at Flatiron Search Partners, specializing in the consumer, retail, and lifestyle sectors. In this role, he partners with emerging and industry-leading brands to recruit transformative leadership across the C-suite.
Aaron spent three years as a Director at SPMB Executive Search, leading client engagements across the consumer and retail landscape, and five years before that at The Brownestone Group, rising from Senior Associate to Client Partner. His search experience spans critical leadership functions, placing high-profile executives across digital, marketing, product, technology, and operations.
Aaron began his career managing operations for an experiential marketing agency, where he oversaw campaigns that put new consumer technology directly into the hands of students across North America. He later transitioned into talent discovery at CTPartners, then a publicly traded search firm, spearheading research for its new consumer practice.
Originally from a one-red-light town, Aaron moved to New York City to attend New York University. Now based in Washington, D.C., he can often be found taking podcast-heavy road trips, exploring international cities, enjoying the golden age of television, or training for his first marathon.
