Lucas Group CEO Voted Magazine’s Top Female Executive
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 31, 2016 -- Andrea “Andi” Jennings, president and chief executive officer of Lucas Group, North America’s premier executive recruiting firm, has been voted the winner of the 2016 Top Female Executive Awards held annually by ADDISON – The Magazine of the North Dallas Corridor. The prestigious award, which recognizes female executive role models who are prominent in their fields and local community leaders, was announced at the magazine’s awards luncheon this month.
For the past seven years, Addison Magazine has recognized female executives who operate some of the United States’ top companies. Addison and the North Dallas Corridor are home to many of these businesses, and to all nominees for this award. The call for 2016 nominations took place in late 2015 among the magazine’s approximately 22,000 business and community subscribers. Jennings was one of 14 finalists. The magazine held open voting earlier this year.
“It is an honor to be recognized by talented business and community members where I live and work,” said Jennings. “But there are many winners this year. They include our expert Lucas Group associates nationwide and our leadership team, who collectively make every success possible. I sincerely congratulate every strong and influential female executive who was nominated for this award through Addison Magazine. You are all are winners.”
Appointed president and CEO of Lucas Group in 2009, Jennings is a pacesetter in business growth and professional advancement. She has reinforced the firm’s leadership position in executive recruiting by establishing a dynamic management team and investing in bringing new talent, new clients and new energy to nationwide operations, all founded on exceptional customer service. Jennings has been essential to Lucas Group’s expansion, opening offices in major markets, leading acquisition teams and managing strategic partnerships.
Jennings was one of the first female recruiters in Lucas Group’s Sales and Marketing group, and became a member of the President’s Club by the age of 21. As the youngest woman to advance into leadership so early in her career, she was later appointed general manager for the Accounting and Finance unit, and grew it from one person into the company’s largest revenue-generating practice group. The importance of the individual has remained constant throughout Jennings’ managerial successes. She continues to grow the company by retaining and hiring people who passionately believe in the mission of building other strong companies through talent acquisition.
