Mary Nutting is the Co-Founder of Strategic Talent Partners. She was the Founder, CEO and culture champion for CorTalent for 14 years before merging companies with Mike Frommelt and KeyStone Executive Search. Mary spent 18 years in technology working for a Fortune 500 Company managing a large team before making a career change to the entrepreneurial world. She worked for a boutique global management consulting firm specializing in the talent disciplines and helped the business create its first-ever executive search practice. The Company later sold to Accenture. Since then, Mary has started three businesses, with CorTalent being created in 2010 and Strategic Talent Partners being formed in 2024. Mary’s passion is helping both her employees and clients to live their best possible professional life. At CorTalent, she continually re-energized the Company’s organizational structure and roles to best suit the skills, interests, and passion of its people while continuing to drive exceptional customer success. She continues this practice in partnership with Mike to ensure the team at Strategic Talent Partners continues to develop and grow. With her clients, Mary helps business owners and leaders hire and retain the best people to help them achieve their desired company growth but also their personal vision and ultimate success. Mary has dedicated her professional life to aligning structure, roles, and people and understands first-hand that when you get this part of the business right – there is NO holding back. When Mary isn’t working, she is spending time with her husband Brett, grown-adult daughters Abby and Isabel who are excelling in their own professional world, and her two miniature Aussie-Doodles, Koda and Floyd. As the past-president of the MN Chapter of NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners), she spends a significant portion of her time helping to develop and support other women business owners.
