About us

Always having the itch to “do his own thing” Jason opened our Westport, MA office in January 2006 after 12 years of working for the man!  He has grown our business to be the leading national search firm specializing in supply chain planning across industries such as Consumer Goods, High Tech, Medical Device, Pharma and Biotech. He currently leads the team working with companies – as small as $25 million in size and as large as $20 billion in size – to identify top talent in areas like demand planning, supply planning, operations planning, production planning and sales & operations planning (S&OP) / Integrated Business Planning (IBP). “I absolutely love what I do.  Recruiting, to me, isn’t just helping a company find the next hire or a candidate their next job.  It’s about being a match maker – facilitating that connection that two parties would not have been able to make on their own.” Taking that beyond staffing, Jason helps to run the New England chapter of the Institute of Business Forecasting (IBF), an organization committed to advancing planning practices globally.  He has spoken at several ASCM and IBF events on the State of Employment in Demand- and Supply Planning. Jason’s recruiting career is built on a 12-year foundation serving ERP and Supply Chain needs in both domestic and international markets.  While at Siemens Business Services, he leveraged his engineering background and German fluency to solidify SAP consulting engagements with multi-national organizations. Jason then spent 5+ years at AMR Research in Boston (now Gartner), a leading research and advisory organization focusing on the supply chain best practices and applications being leveraged to help cut costs and increase revenues. Jason earned a BA in German and a BS in Electrical Engineering, both from the University of Rhode Island.

Ryan joined the team of LifeWork Search in January of 2023 as an Account Executive. He began his five year service in the Military after graduating from West Point with a BS in Environmental Engineering.  After leaving the US Army as a Captain, he continued his education by earning an MBA, with a focus in Finance and Supply Chain, at Washington University in St. Louis.  He then spent the next 15 years at Walmart and then Tyson Foods.  While beginning his career in Corporate Finance, he found his passion lay in supply chain and solving supply chain related problems, which led to his holding multiple roles in increasing responsibility from Transportation and Logistics to Demand Planning and S&OP and finally managing his own transportation company.  In his new role he is dedicated to finding candidates the right fit to accelerate their careers and helping companies find talent that improves their operations and positions for continued growth.  Ryan lives in Northwest Arkansas with his wife Jolene and six children.  He also serves and has served on multiple non-profit boards that advocate for children, specifically foster care and adoption.

Nine years ago, Robin decided on a career change and became our Director of Operations here at LifeWork Search. Formerly trained as a registered nurse, she equates nursing as the ultimate form of customer service.  After several years as the Director of Operations, she has decided to become a recruiter. “I want to build upon my years of experience in customer relations. Whether it’s nursing or recruiting, building relationships is at the foundation of it all.” Her goal as a recruiter is to help people reach their potential while gaining their own life/work balance. “I find immense satisfaction in connecting and helping people reach their ultimate potential.” In her free time, Robin enjoys spending time with her family and her dog Cola.
