A native of San Diego, Trevor has over 20 years of experience in executive search, recruiting and workforce development. He began his career with Manpower, a global provider of recruiting and HR solutions, and was initially based in Sydney. After 5 years with the Australian operation, he transferred back to the US for graduate school, and then rejoined Manpower in San Diego.

In 2016, he leveraged this experience to launch a new firm, Blair Search Partners, specializing in search engagements for nonprofit and public-sector clients.  Today the firm manages 30-40 search engagements annually for clients across California and on the East Coast as well.

BSP’s work spans almost every area of the sector including philanthropy, human services, education, professional associations and the arts.
