As one of the founding partners of C-Suite Assistants, Carol Coleman’s diverse, international life and business experiences give her the expertise to offer top-tier recruiting services to her clients.

Born and raised in South America, Carol attended university in the USA and earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Tulane University, and then a graduate degree in International Management from Thunderbird (The American Graduate School of International Management). Upon graduation, she joined the Human Resources department of an international bank and then moved to analytical and business development banking roles focused on Latin American.

Carol later joined Citibank where she worked in the Capital Markets and Investment Banking Groups managing sales and relationship teams in New York, and then in London. For family reasons, Carol took a break from the banking world and moved with her growing family to Taiwan, where she became the Executive Director of a Non-Profit involved with services for children. After five years living abroad, Carol returned to the US with her husband and their three sons and decided to pursue her long-held interest in recruiting. She joined a staffing firm with offices in New York and Connecticut and learned the recruiting business from the ground up.

In 1999, eager to start her own business and put into practice her core principles, Carol opened her own firm, Coleman & Company, with a focus on recruiting for financial roles for clients such as GE, Mastercard, Pimco, HSBC and various hedge funds. In 2003, recognizing her clients’ needs for administrative support staff, and with the addition of Suzanne Coleman as a full partner and two other recruiters, C-Suite Assistants, a separate division for the recruitment of administrative and support staff was born. C-Suite has steadily expanded to include staffing for administrative and operational roles across a wide range of industries and in many different locations in the USA.

When not working, Carol can be found playing a paddle sport of some kind or digging in the dirt on a local cooperative farm or in her own garden.
