Meet the Team: Vahan Dersimonian

Say hello to one of the newest additions to Benson Executive Search, Vahan DerSimonian! Vahan brings more than 12 years of talent acquisition solutions, recruiting, and leadership experience to the BES team, where he works on initial search and outreach. He began his recruiting career with Randstad Technologies Boston office after receiving his degree in Management from Bentley University, and has been passionate about finding and assisting top talent in pursuing career advancements ever since. 

“It’s a competitive environment in terms of finding top talent, and I’ve enjoyed learning more about HR and the HR function and how these positions push organizations forward,” says Vahan.  “The placements we find at BES have a genuine impact on an organization – when you’re a CHRO – for example, it’s a big impact right away. I’m passionate about the customer’s hiring vision and doing the best to deliver that”

Vahan recently relocated back to his home state of Maine to be closer to family. When he’s not facilitating a search for a client, or networking with top-level HR professionals, he is most likely doing something outdoors. “I do a lot of hiking, camping, fishing, cycling, and I love to be outdoors,” says Vahan.

The BES team is thrilled to have him aboard, and the feeling is mutual. "After 12 years recruiting for one of the largest search firms globally, I'm looking forward to working with a smaller firm whose focus is on forming strategic partnerships and not just client relationships. I’m thrilled to be working with BES leadership to continue delivering top-level HR Talent to their partners as the organization continues to expand."

Welcome Vahan! We’re thrilled to have you!
