Nicole Barbano has spent nearly twenty years in the rooms where hiring decisions are actually made—and where careers quietly rise or stall. She is an executive search consultant, executive coach, entrepreneur, and author who has helped leaders build teams and professionals navigate some of the biggest career moves of their lives. Her work spans rural hospitals, healthcare technology companies, family offices, and privately held businesses. After thousands of search mandates, interviews, and leadership conversations, Nicole saw the same pattern: most people are playing a hiring game that no longer exists, following rules that were never real. That disconnect became the spark for The HIRE. Nicole is the founder of Hunter Ambrose & Co., an executive search and leadership advisory firm she launched in 2006, and host of the Hunter Ambrose Leadership Podcast. She lives in Kansas City, Missouri, with her husband and has three adult children—each of whom contributed to the making of The HIRE.
