Austin McGregor is a small, boutique retained executive search firm headquartered in Dallas, with satellite offices in Austin, Palo Alto, and Chicago. Founded in 1987 by Charles 'Chip' McCreary, the firm concentrates on executive appointments at the VP level through CEO and board positions. Its leadership relies on partner-level execution, with senior partners actively conducting searches rather than delegating to a broader team. The firm has worked across industries and company stages, with notable emphasis in technology and manufacturing/industrial/business services sectors. Its scope is international, having completed retained assignments worldwide. Stephen Sterett and Paul Bailey are the two managing partners who lead the firm, bringing more than four decades of combined retained-executive-search experience and having been recruited by the founder.
