He builds sustainable long-term relationships with his clients while helping them solve their crucial talent acquisition needs.

Mr. Hirsch finds great fulfillment in working with organizations that pioneer groundbreaking therapies that ultimately impact patients’ lives.
Outside of his career, Mr. Hirsch cherishes spending time with his family. He has a passion for collectible cars, especially the 1965 Shelby Cobra.
