Report: Merrimack will use ZRG Partners for AD search
According to a report from College.AD, Merrimack will use executive search firm ZRG Partners (formerly Turnkey ZRG) for its AD opening. Two weeks ago, it was announced that Jeremy Gibson would become the new AD at Lehigh University.
ZRG Partners is a multi-functional search firm that started in college athletics.
From their website:
TurnkeyZRG has successfully completed over 200 searches in this industry. We’ve placed people across every department there is, including ADs, Deputy ADs, and SWAs across sales, marketing, finance, compliance, and many more. We’ve also placed Head Coaches across all sports. Our extensive and current work in this space allows us to start your search “on second base.” We know how to get to the right people, and get to them quickly.
The MAAC used ZRG Partners for its commissioner search in 2022.
ZRG Partners current NCAA openings include:
Cincinnati, VP of Athletic Development
Penn State, Senior Assoc. AD
ZRG Partners is also working with several professional franchises, including the Los Angeles Kings, Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Houston Texans, and Arizona Diamondbacks, on various executive openings.
