APA Search, Inc. is a staffing and executive search firm based in New Canaan, Connecticut, specializing in leadership hiring for senior roles in private equity–backed portfolio companies, the automotive aftermarket, and industrial and manufacturing businesses. With nearly four decades of sector focus and more than 3,600 executive placements, it targets positions from Senior Manager to C-Suite and emphasizes moments when leadership decisions drive value. Unlike traditional firms, it acts as an extension of investors, boards, and leadership teams, offering deep sector expertise, real-time market insight, and a disciplined, senior-led assessment process. This approach aims to improve decision quality, speed alignment, and reduce the risk of a mis-hire. In September 2024, the firm announced the appointment of Julia Harris Wexler as President.
