Westchester Country Club recently partnered with GSI Executive Search, led by Andrew Minnelli, in conducting a national search for our Director of Racquets.
The engagement was structured, disciplined, and highly collaborative. Andrew worked closely with me and our search committee to define the leadership profile, calibrate expectations, and guide the process from market outreach through final selection. Communication was consistent, timelines were well managed, and the candidate pool reflected both depth and quality within a competitive marketplace.
What continues to distinguish GSI is their understanding of private club leadership and culture. They recognize that these searches are not simply about credentials, but about long-term fit, governance alignment, and the ability to lead within a member-driven environment. That perspective materially strengthens the process.
The outcome was a successful placement aligned with Westchester’s operational standards, strategic priorities, and culture. The search was efficient, well organized, and executed with professionalism throughout.
In my time at WCC, GSI has served as a valued strategic partner to the Club on multiple successful placements. Their industry knowledge, discretion, responsiveness, and steady guidance have consistently added value to our leadership recruitment efforts.
