Bobbie Stone, CEO & Founder

Bobbie Stone has extensive experience in executive search, with a proven track record in recruitment, staff retention, marketing, sales, and management.

Before founding her firm in 2001, she was a Senior Search Consultant, focused on recruiting executive talent in C-Suite positions in hospital administration, nursing, information systems, and insurance across the health care continuum.

That experience – where she developed impeccable research skills – helps her and the Bobbie Stone International® LLC Team “hit the ground running” on every search.

Bobbie takes a very “hands on” approach to her leadership role. In addition to setting Bobbie Stone International’s® LLC overall strategic objectives, she also rolls up her sleeves and works daily with her Team on every search engagement.

Among her many accomplishments: Bobbie has also successfully completed searches in the allied health arena, spearheaded the startup of an outpatient Orthopedics Sports Medicine Center, and was Executive Director of The Physical Therapy Network. She has held senior positions with retained search firms Avery Crafts Associates and Robert Murphy Associates. She began her career as a Research Associate within the insurance industry.

Her articles have appeared in numerous publications, and she has presented at colleges, universities, and industry-related conferences on career development. She is the Founder of Challenges, Inc. a non-profit experimental school for gifted, talented and creative children. Working alongside Board Members and staff on curriculum development, she also handled efforts to secure local donor support and grants from government programs and philanthropic benefactors. That experience launched her career-long commitment to philanthropic causes.

She is a member of several health care and human capital associations including the American Society of Healthcare Human Resources Administration, the Association of Nurse Leaders, and the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy, where she serves as Expert Advisor to the DEIB Taskforce Educational Subcommittee.

She has also served as a member of the Board of Directors/Sunshine Chair of the National Association of Women Business Owners-Central New Jersey Chapter and as a member of the Finance Fundraising Committee of the New Jersey Organization of Nurse Executives. Bobbie was a pro-bono Consultant to the North Carolina Organization of Nurse Leaders Search Committee in recruiting their new Executive Director.

She majored in Business Administration at The City University of New York-Bernard Baruch College. Bobbie’s continuing education interests include attending online courses relevant to leadership, healthcare, non-profit philanthropy and development, diversity and inclusion, organizational culture transformation, human resources, and employee relations.

Describing herself as a “woman for all seasons”, she’s an avid New York Yankee baseball fan, she likes to walk and exercise, enjoys spending time with her husband, family, and Pembroke Welsh Corgi Show Dog (now retired). She also enjoys baking, entertaining, the arts and theatre.
