With over 13 years of experience in executive search, Tyler Fairhurst has built a reputation as a trusted advisor in the Real Estate, Residential Architecture, and Energy industries.

In 2014, Tyler founded SECCA Search Group, driven by a vision to create a relationship-focused executive search firm that prioritizes long-term success over short-term placements. Under his leadership, SECCA has become known for its deep industry expertise, strategic approach, and commitment to both client and candidate success.
