The LPGA has hired Elevate Talent as its search firm to find a replacement for former Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, while also officially announcing its search committee. Elevate early last year acquired SRI, a global search firm and talent optimization agency based in the U.K., for an undisclosed price. SRI's 70 employees joined Elevate Talent, which is headed up by Elevate Talent chairman Liz Moulton.
The eight members of the search committee are player directors Ashleigh Buhai, Stephanie Meadow and Stacy Lewis and LPGA Player President Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, who was also on the search committee that hired Marcoux Samaan. Louise Ball, Michele Meyer-Shipp, Madi Kleiner and Board Chairman John Veihmeyer are also on the committee.
Elevate Talent in the last year has also been hired by, among others, the Orioles, AEG, MLS, BSE Global and Angel City. Elevate on Thursday acquired search firm Bowlsby Sports Advisors.
